                 ) tb

             connect by prior tb.level_child = tb.level_parent;

1、connect_by_isleaf是否是子节点；
2、sys_connect_by_path(tb.package_id, '|')   ==>  |xxx|xxx|xxx
3、start with tb.level_parent like '%|0|-1'  ==> 树的遍历以从什么开始
4、connect by prior tb.level_child = tb.level_parent;  ==>此层遍历之后，再将child作为parent，继续往下遍历
