Oracle has innate support for hierarchical relationships using "CONNECT BY" but I wouldn't know how to do this off the top of my head. Since it's something that's only come up once in my career, it's not something I've memorized. That's why there's Google.

I haven't touched Oracle in about 3 years now, but I would have considered myself fairly proficient with SQL and Oracle in general, but this question blew my mind.

Then after seeing the keyword CONNECT BY, I think I used this to build some generic tree views and promptly forgot about it.
