Re: Reverse (or backward?) Infinity Loop

Hi Bruno

It looks like you're trying to do a hierarchical query. What database are 
you using? If you're using Oracle you're in luck, see the docs for the 
START WITH and CONNECT BY clauses of SELECT. I don't think many other 
databases can do this so you would need to write code in your client 
language to interpret the catParentId to catId relationship.
