works for me (i didn't put any data in though). the above is probably
better written using array() notation as I mentioned above:
SELECT array
(
WITH RECURSIVE subcategory AS
(
SELECT * FROM category
WHERE category_id = p_category_id
UNION ALL
SELECT c.*
FROM category AS c
INNER JOIN subcategory AS sc ON (c.category_id = sc.parent_id)
)
SELECT category_id FROM subcategory
ORDER BY Coalesce(parent_id, 0) DESC
) INTO cat_list;
Also if you want more than just the ID stacked in the array the above
can be reworked in to an array of the 'category' type.
