mysql递归,如何在MySql中使用递归查询？

WITH RECURSIVE transitive_closure(a, b, distance, path_string) AS

( SELECT a, b, 1 AS distance,

a || '.' || b || '.' AS path_string,

b AS direct_connection

FROM edges2

WHERE a = 1 -- set the starting node

UNION ALL

SELECT tc.a, e.b, tc.distance + 1,

tc.path_string || e.b || '.' AS path_string,

tc.direct_connection

FROM edges2 AS e

JOIN transitive_closure AS tc ON e.a = tc.b

WHERE tc.path_string NOT LIKE '%' || e.b || '.%'

AND tc.distance < 3

)

SELECT * FROM transitive_closure

--WHERE b=3 -- set the target node

ORDER BY a,b,distance

how to run this query in MySql?

it will show error message like this:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'RECURSIVE transitive_closure(a, b, distance, path_string) AS ( SELECT a, b, 1 A' at line 1

解决方案

The WITH RECURSIVE statement/method is applicable in PostgreSQL and Sybase (and maybe a few more, I think), so maybe you can look at this instead:

It should show you some approaches using MySQL (and one or two in PHP, just to mention -- I know it's not in your tag list)
