  1. Accessing Hierarchical Data in Oracle Carol-Lee Erikson Tutch ctutch@gmail.com

  2. Hierarchically Structured Data • Items at different levels are similar • Arbitrary number of levels • Examples • Personnel • Officer • Manager • Contributor • Manufacturing • Product • Assembly • Part

  3. Representing a Hierarchy • Items have a Parent-Child relationship • Hierarchy can be visualized as a Tree • Item is called a Node • Connections btw nodes are Links • Node has 0 or 1 parent • Node w/o parent is a Root • Node has 0 to N children • Node w/o children is a Leaf

  4. Hierarchy Tree 1 Level 1 2 9 15 Level 2 3 4 7 10 11 Level 3 5 6 8 12 13 Level 4 14 Level 5

  5. ER Diagram

  6. Structure for Sample Data CREATETABLEemp( emp_idNUMBER(5)NOTNULL, emp_nameVARCHAR2(30)NOTNULL, mgr_emp_idNUMBER(5), dept_cdVARCHAR2(6), salNUMBER(9,2), hire_dtDATENOTNULL); CREATEUNIQUEINDEXemp_pkONemp(emp_id); ALTERTABLEempADDCONSTRAINTemp_pk PRIMARYKEY( emp_id)USINGINDEXemp_pk; CREATEINDEX emp_f1 ONemp(mgr_emp_idASC); ALTERTABLEempADDCONSTRAINT emp_f1 FOREIGNKEY(mgr_emp_id) REFERENCESemp(emp_id);

  7. Sample Data SELECT * FROMemp ORDERBYemp_id;

  9. Employees & Supervisors SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name, m.emp_idASmgr_id,m.emp_nameASmgr_name FROMempeJOINempm ONe.mgr_emp_id=m.emp_id ORDERBYe.emp_id;

  10. … Add Top-Level Supervisors SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name, m.emp_idASmgr_id,m.emp_nameASmgr_name FROMempeLEFTJOINempm ONe.mgr_emp_id=m.emp_id ORDERBYe.emp_id;

  11. … Add Supervisor’s Supervisors SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name, m1.emp_id AS mgr_id1, m1.emp_name AS gr_name1, m2.emp_id AS mgr_id2, m2.emp_name AS mgr_name2 FROMempe LEFTJOINemp m1 ONe.mgr_emp_id= m1.emp_id LEFTJOINemp m2 ON m1.mgr_emp_id = m2.emp_id ORDERBYe.emp_id;

  12. All Root Nodes SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name FROMempe WHEREe.mgr_emp_idISNULL;

  13. All Leaf Nodes SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name FROMempe WHEREe.emp_idNOTIN (SELECTDISTINCTm.mgr_emp_id FROMempm WHEREm.mgr_emp_idISNOTNULL);

  14. Oracle Extensions for Hierarchies • CONNECT BY clause • Allows linking w/n same range variable (table alias) • Occurs after WHERE clause • Executes before WHERE clause • PRIOR keyword • Indicates how to connect w/ last record retrieved • Can occur on either side of the join • Can be used multiple times • START WITH clause • Indicates record(s) to initially retrieve • Optional: w/o, initially starts w/ all records

  15. Basic Hierarchy Query SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;

  16. Adding the Manager Name SELECTe.emp_idAS"E ID",e.emp_nameAS"Employee", m.emp_idAS"M ID",m.emp_nameAS"Manager" FROM(SELECTe.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id) h JOINempeONh.emp_id=e.emp_id JOINempmONh.mgr_emp_id=m.emp_id ORDERBYe.emp_id;

  17. Start w/ any Record Set SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.emp_name='Beth‘ CONNECTBYe.mgr_emp_id=PRIORe.emp_id;

  18. Indicating LEVEL SELECTLEVEL,e.emp_id,e.emp_name,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.emp_name='Beth‘ CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;

  19. Use Functions on LEVEL SELECTMAX(level)ASmaxlevel FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;

  20. Aggregate on LEVEL SELECTlevel,COUNT ( emp_id) FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id GROUPBYlevel;

  21. Indenting Dependents SELECTLPAD(' ',3 * (level-1)) || e.emp_nameAS"Employee", level,e.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;

  22. Filter a Hierarchy SELECTLPAD(' ',3 * (level-1)) || e.emp_nameAS"Employee", level,e.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe WHEREe.hire_dt<'1-Jan-2004' STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;

  23. Top N Levels of Hierarchy SELECTLPAD(' ',3 * (level-1)) || e.emp_nameAS"Employee", level,e.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe WHERElevel<=2 STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;

  24. Sorting, the Wrong Way SELECTLPAD(' ',3 * (level-1)) || e.emp_nameAS"Employee", level,e.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id ORDERBYemp_name;

  25. Sorting: The SIBLINGS Clause SELECTLPAD(' ',3 * (level-1)) || e.emp_nameAS"Employee", level,e.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id ORDERSIBLINGSBYemp_name;

  26. Display a Path SELECTSUBSTR(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH( e.emp_name,' - '),4) AS"Employee Path" FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id ORDERSIBLINGSBYemp_name;

  27. The Root for Each Node SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_nameAS"Employee", CONNECT_BY_ROOTe.emp_nameAS"Top Dog" FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;

  28. Has a Connection to SELECT * FROMempe WHEREe.emp_name='Beth' STARTWITHe.emp_name='Robin‘ CONNECTBYe.emp_id=PRIORe.mgr_emp_id;

  29. Summng Dependent Info SELECT t2.emp_id, t2.emp_name, t2.sal, (SELECTSUM(t1.sal ) FROMempt1 STARTWITHt1.emp_id = t2.emp_id CONNECTBYt1.mgr_emp_id =PRIORt1.emp_id ) ASsum_salary FROMemp t2;

  30. Cycles in a Hierarchy UPDATEempe SETe.mgr_emp_id=22 WHEREe.emp_id=10; SELECTLPAD(' ',3 * (level-1)) || e.emp_nameAS"Employee", level,e.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_id=10 CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id; 17:08:52 Error: ORA-01436: CONNECT BY loop in user data

  31. Running w/ Errors SELECTLPAD(' ',3 * (level-1)) || e.emp_nameAS"Employee", level,e.emp_id,e.mgr_emp_id FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_id=10 CONNECTBYNOCYCLEPRIORe.emp_id =e.mgr_emp_id;

  32. Trapping Cycle Errors SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name,CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE FROMempe STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_id=10 CONNECTBYNOCYCLEPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id; ROLLBACK;

  33. Finding Leaf Nodes SELECTe.emp_id,e.emp_name FROMempe WHERECONNECT_BY_ISLEAF=1 STARTWITHe.mgr_emp_idISNULL CONNECTBYPRIORe.emp_id=e.mgr_emp_id;
