My little attempt to create christmas tree: WITH RECURSIVE tree(b, l, lv) AS ( ( WITH RECURSIVE t(b, l) AS ( select b/11.6, 0 AS l from (select generate_series(0,30)::float8 b union all select generate_series(30,0, -1)::float8 b) ziew UNION ALL select (b*1.06), l+1 FROM t WHERE l < 3 ) select b, l, 1 AS lv from t order by l asc ) UNION ALL select b*1.1, l+(lv*62) AS l , lv+1 FROM tree WHERE lv < 4 ) select array_to_string(array_agg(SUBSTRING(' ....,--++++****####', LEAST(GREATEST(b::integer,1),20), 1)),'') from tree group by l order by l asc; hohoho :P -- GJ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
