I recently started using a closure table, and it was working fine when I had to convert simple parent-child relationships from person to lineage, but now I have to convert grandparent-parent-child and great-grandparent-parent-child relationships, and maybe even longer relationships than that into the closure table. This is the table I need to pull the relationships from:
CREATE TABLE `person` (
`person` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL ,
`parent` BIGINT UNSIGNED NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (`person`) ,
INDEX `idx_person_has_parent` (`parent` ASC),
CONSTRAINT `fk_person_has_parent`
FOREIGN KEY (`parent`)
REFERENCES `person` (`person`)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE NO ACTION
);
This is the table I need to convert to:
CREATE TABLE `lineage` (
`ancestor` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`descendant` BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`length` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ancestor`, descendant`),
CONSTRAINT `fk_ancestor_has_descendant`
FOREIGN KEY (`descendant`)
REFERENCES `person` (`person`)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE NO ACTION,
CONSTRAINT `fk_descendant_has_ancestor`
FOREIGN KEY (`ancestor`)
REFERENCES `person` (`person`)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE NO ACTION
);
The biggest problem I'm having is saving the correct length for entries of grandparent-child, which should be length 2. Grandparent-parent and parent-child are both 1, and each of them has a length 0 when associated with themselves (child-child, parent-parent, etc.). Can I do this in a query or will it require some sort of program?

This is an ancient script that I completed 6-7 years ago to accomplish this task in PHP/Propel. Hopefully it's useful to someone else:
require_once 'common/Autoloader.php';
require_once 'propel/Propel.php';
\Propel::init('db/runtime-conf.php');
function truncateHierarchy(\PropelPDO $propel) {
/* @var $state \PropelStatement */
$state = $propel->prepare('TRUNCATE database.person_hierarchy');
$state->execute();
}
function insertHierarchy(\PropelPDO $propel, $length) {
if ($length == 0) {
$state = $propel->prepare('INSERT INTO database.person_hierarchy SELECT id, id, 0 FROM person;');
$state->execute();
return $state->rowCount();
} else if ($length == 1) {
$state = $propel->prepare('INSERT INTO database.person_hierarchy SELECT parent_person_id, id, 1 FROM person WHERE id != parent_person_id;');
$state->execute();
return $state->rowCount();
} else {
$sql = "INSERT INTO database.person_hierarchy \n";
$sql .= "SELECT p.parent_person_id, c" . ($length - 1) . ".id, " . $length . " FROM database.person AS p \n";
for ($i = 1; $i <= $length - 1; $i++) {
$sql .= "LEFT JOIN person AS c" . $i . " ON " . ($i == 1 ? 'p.id' : 'c' . ($i - 1) . '.id') . " = c" . $i . ".parent_person_id \n";
}
$sql .= "WHERE p.parent_person_id != p.id \n";
for ($i = 1; $i <= $length - 1; $i++) {
$sql .= "AND c" . $i . ".parent_person_id != c" . $i . ".id \n";
}
echo $sql;
$state = $propel->prepare($sql);
$state->execute();
return $state->rowCount();
}
}
/* @var $connect \PropelConnection */
$propel = \Propel::getConnection();
$propel->beginTransaction();
try {
truncateHierarchy($propel);
$propel->commit();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
error_log_exc($e);
echo "Failed to truncate person hierarchy!\n";
$propel->rollBack();
exit();
}
$length = 0;
$inserts = -1;
while ($inserts !== 0 || $length != 10) {
$propel->beginTransaction();
try {
$inserts = insertHierarchy($propel, $length);
if ($inserts == 0) {
echo "No persons exist at length " . $length . ".\n";
} else {
echo $inserts . " rows inserted for length " . $length . ".\n";
}
$length++;
$propel->commit();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
error_log_exc($e);
