No, you can't. However, you can obtain recursive path by using ARRAY
type, as another way. Here is a sample SQL.
WITH RECURSIVE x(level, parent, child, path) AS
(SELECT 1::integer, * , array[child] FROM test_connect_by
WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT x.level + 1, base.*, array_append(path, base.child)
FROM test_connect_by AS base, x WHERE base.parent = x.child
)
SELECT path, array_to_string(path, '->') FROM x
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM test_connect_by WHERE parent =
x.child);
path | array_to_string
-------------+-----------------
{18,11} | 18->11
{18,7} | 18->7
{26,13} | 26->13
{26,1} | 26->1
{26,12} | 26->12
{38,6} | 38->6
{38,17,9} | 38->17->9
{38,17,8} | 38->17->8
{38,15,10} | 38->15->10
{38,15,5,2} | 38->15->5->2
{38,15,5,3} | 38->15->5->3
(11 rows)
