Hello, Im here because Oleg Bartunov invite me to this mailing list. Im searching for help with ltree module, in todo list (in this module) is Better documentation, since 2003 year, no one make something more for this. Whats is the problem? With example from manual about ltree, we have some data in our table, now add some row to table for Science node, and we will have something like this: id | path | sort ----+-----------------------------------------------+------ 1 | Top | 1 2 | Top.Science | 1 3 | Top.Science.Astronomy | 1 4 | Top.Science.Astronomy.Astrophysics | 1 5 | Top.Science.Astronomy.Cosmology | 2 6 | Top.Hobbies | 2 7 | Top.Hobbies.Amateurs_Astronomy | 2 8 | Top.Collections | 3 9 | Top.Collections.Pictures | 1 10 | Top.Collections.Pictures.Astronomy | 1 11 | Top.Collections.Pictures.Astronomy.Stars | 1 12 | Top.Collections.Pictures.Astronomy.Galaxies | 2 13 | Top.Collections.Pictures.Astronomy.Astronauts | 3 15 | Top.Science.Programing | 3 Sort column, is added by my self, because Im trying to sort those columns, but I don't know how. depesz from irc show me example how to sort this data with creating ordering column in the fly: WITH RECURSIVE rec AS ( SELECT *, btrim(to_char( sort, '0000000' )) AS ordering FROM tree WHERE nlevel(path) = 1 UNION ALL SELECT t2.*, t1.ordering || '/' || btrim(to_char( t2.sort, '0000000' )) AS ordering FROM rec t1, tree t2 WHERE t1.path @> t2.path AND nlevel(t1.path) + 1 = nlevel(t2.path) ) SELECT id, subpath(path, -1) AS title, nlevel(path) AS depth, sort FROM rec ORDER BY ordering; But I'm not sure it's the best way to sort this columns, so Im wrinting here for help and some examples, or improve the ltree manual with more example. -- Regards, cojack. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
