I have an organization table that has an id, a parent_id, and a name column. There are roughly 50k rows in this table. There is just one top level parent and the rest are all under that. In Oracle, I am able to easily retrieve the current depth of a particular organization with the level pseudocolumn:
SELECT id, parent_id, level, name
FROM organizations
START WITH parent_id = 1
CONNECT BY PRIOR id = parent_id
I am at a loss of what the proper way to do the above in MySQL is. I need to fetch the entire tree along with the node's depth in one query.
There are a plethora of questions on StackOverflow that have to do with this, but none of them seem to have a really good answer to it, mostly links to blogs with dubious solutions. Surely this is doable in some sort of straight-forward manner?
Unfortunately modifying the table in any way is not an option, so nested sets is not a possibility.

This is totally hilarious. I just picked up a +50 bounty on a similar question literally yesterday : Using MySQL query to traverse rows to make a recursive tree
I will post the same stored procedures along with the examples from my DBA StackExchange answer:
Code to Get the Parent for Any Given Node
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `junk`.`GetParentIDByID` $$
CREATE FUNCTION `junk`.`GetParentIDByID` (GivenID INT) RETURNS INT
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE rv INT;
SELECT IFNULL(parent_id,-1) INTO rv FROM
(SELECT parent_id FROM pctable WHERE id = GivenID) A;
RETURN rv;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
Code to Get the Ancenstry for Any Given Node
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `junk`.`GetAncestry` $$
CREATE FUNCTION `junk`.`GetAncestry` (GivenID INT) RETURNS VARCHAR(1024)
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE rv VARCHAR(1024);
DECLARE cm CHAR(1);
DECLARE ch INT;
SET rv = '';
SET cm = '';
SET ch = GivenID;
WHILE ch > 0 DO
SELECT IFNULL(parent_id,-1) INTO ch FROM
(SELECT parent_id FROM pctable WHERE id = ch) A;
IF ch > 0 THEN
SET rv = CONCAT(rv,cm,ch);
SET cm = ',';
END IF;
END WHILE;
RETURN rv;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
Code to Get the Family Tree (or Descendants) for Any Given Node
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `junk`.`GetFamilyTree` $$
CREATE FUNCTION `junk`.`GetFamilyTree` (GivenID INT) RETURNS varchar(1024) CHARSET latin1
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE rv,q,queue,queue_children VARCHAR(1024);
DECLARE queue_length,front_id,pos INT;
SET rv = '';
SET queue = GivenID;
SET queue_length = 1;
WHILE queue_length > 0 DO
SET front_id = FORMAT(queue,0);
IF queue_length = 1 THEN
SET queue = '';
ELSE
SET pos = LOCATE(',',queue) + 1;
SET q = SUBSTR(queue,pos);
SET queue = q;
END IF;
SET queue_length = queue_length - 1;
SELECT IFNULL(qc,'') INTO queue_children
FROM (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(id) qc
FROM pctable WHERE parent_id = front_id) A;
IF LENGTH(queue_children) = 0 THEN
IF LENGTH(queue) = 0 THEN
SET queue_length = 0;
END IF;
ELSE
IF LENGTH(rv) = 0 THEN
SET rv = queue_children;
ELSE
SET rv = CONCAT(rv,',',queue_children);
END IF;
IF LENGTH(queue) = 0 THEN
SET queue = queue_children;
ELSE
SET queue = CONCAT(queue,',',queue_children);
END IF;
SET queue_length = LENGTH(queue) - LENGTH(REPLACE(queue,',','')) + 1;
END IF;
END WHILE;
RETURN rv;
END $$
To demonstrate the execution of everything, here is the sample data
USE junk
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS pctable;
CREATE TABLE pctable
(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
parent_id INT,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
INSERT INTO pctable (parent_id) VALUES (0);
INSERT INTO pctable (parent_id) SELECT parent_id+1 FROM pctable;
INSERT INTO pctable (parent_id) SELECT parent_id+2 FROM pctable;
INSERT INTO pctable (parent_id) SELECT parent_id+3 FROM pctable;
INSERT INTO pctable (parent_id) SELECT parent_id+4 FROM pctable;
INSERT INTO pctable (parent_id) SELECT parent_id+5 FROM pctable;
SELECT * FROM pctable;
Here is the query to see all Parents, Ancestries, and Family Trees
SELECT
id,parent_id,
GetParentIDByID(id),
GetAncestry(id),
GetFamilyTree(id)
FROM pctable;
Give it a Try !!!
