Hi Steve, You can get the below query to work in 8.1.7 (not sure about previous versions) by setting the undoc parameter _new_connect_by_enabled = true and can be set for a session
SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM treenode ORDER BY parentid, nodeorder) START WITH parentid=0 CONNECT BY PRIOR ID = parentid You can also use sys_connect_by_path feature in 9i which gives you the entire hierarchy path (can be used in 8i with the above undoc parameter) For eg: select sys_connect_by_path(parent_id,'/') from treenode start with parent_id = 0 connect by prior id = parent_id will give you a output like 0/1/9 0/1/2 0/1/2/4 ...etc As always setting an undoc parameter is not advisable unless instructed by Oracle support :-) Hope this helps.
