I have three fields in a table that define a hierarchical relationship present in a MySQL database.
Table Name : tb_corp
--------------------------------------------
comp_code | incharge_comp_Code | mngr_emp_no
A | | 111
--------------------------------------------
B | A |
--------------------------------------------
C | B |
--------------------------------------------
How do I write a query to obtain all the comp_code that mngr_emp_no = 111 is in charge. According to the table above, 111 is in charge of three companies(A, B, and C). The reason is that A company is in charge of B company and B company is in charge of C company as a result A is also in charge of C company.
(A -> B) (B -> C) == (A -> C)

There is no native hierarchical query support in MySQL.
For a finite number of levels to be traversed, we can write queries that get result for each level, and combine the results with a UNION ALL operator.
Or, we can write a MySQL stored program (procedure) for a more recursive approach.
As an example of approach using a native SQL query:
SELECT t0.comp_code
FROM tb_corp t0
WHERE t0.mgr_emp_no = 111
UNION ALL
SELECT t1.comp_code
FROM tb_corp t0
JOIN tb_corp t1 ON t1.incharge_comp_code = t0.comp_code
WHERE t0.mgr_emp_no = 111
UNION ALL
SELECT t2.comp_code
FROM tb_corp t0
JOIN tb_corp t1 ON t1.incharge_comp_code = t0.comp_code
JOIN tb_corp t2 ON t2.incharge_comp_code = t1.comp_code
WHERE t0.mgr_emp_no = 111
UNION ALL
SELECT t3.comp_code
FROM tb_corp t0
JOIN tb_corp t1 ON t1.incharge_comp_code = t0.comp_code
JOIN tb_corp t2 ON t2.incharge_comp_code = t1.comp_code
JOIN tb_corp t3 ON t3.incharge_comp_code = t2.comp_code
WHERE t0.mgr_emp_no = 111
etc. This approach can be extended to t4, t5, t6, ... down to some (reasonable) finite number of levels.
For a more recursive approach, a MySQL stored program (PROCEDURE) can be written.
