I have a table with these columns: id, node, parent_node_id
The top-most nodes would have a parent_node_id of NULL. Is it possible to get a node, and all its parent nodes, in a single query? For example, a node might be: books > computers > databases > oss > postgres and the rows fetched would be: 1,books,NULL 2,computers,1 3,databases,2 4,oss,3 5,postgres,4 TIA, CSN __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
