Hello, Here is a view which assigns randomly chosen parents to a sequence of children -
CREATE VIEW v_random_hierarchy as with r(parent, child) as (select null, 1 union all select abs(random())%child+1, child+1 from r) select * from r limit 5; sqlite> select * from v_random_hierarchy; parent child 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 4 5 Can a column be added to this view which counts the number of children for each parent? Here is my failed attempt - sqlite> select v1.parent, v1.child, (select count(*) from v_random_hierarchy as v2 where v2.parent=v1.parent) as number_children_of_parent from v_random_hierarchy as v1; parent child number_children_of_parent 1 0 1 2 3 2 3 0 3 4 0 3 5 1 in this case, it should be - parent child number_children_of_parent 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 3 4 2 3 5 2 _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
