Hello,

Couldn’t help but notice a brand new branch in SQLite’s repository, the one 
labeled "Start a new experimental branch for support of Oracle-style CONNECT BY 
syntax.”.

http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/4365ddd62d

Two reactions:

(1) Recursive queries! Yes! Hurray! :D

(2) CONNECT BY syntax?!? What the…!!! To paraphrase Ridley Scott: “On the 
interweb, no one can hear you scream.”

If you are considering a syntax for recursion... please, please, pretty please, 
use Common Table Expression. Even Oracle does use it now.

"Common table expressions are supported by DB2, Firebird, Microsoft SQL Server, 
Oracle (with recursion since 11g release 2), PostgreSQL (since 8.4), HyperSQL 
and H2 (experimental).”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_and_recursive_queries_in_SQL

Let have SQLite added to that list :))
