A few hours ago I asked this question about hierarchy over two tables.
I made a new message for my next question, as my original answer was given correctly and quickly. However, I was asked not to rely on another question, so here is the scenario:
I have the following tables:
create table areas
(
id NUMBER not null,
name VARCHAR2(200) not null,
parent_id NUMBER
);
Insert into areas (id, name)
Values (1, 'Europe');
Insert into areas (id, name)
Values (2, 'Americas');
Insert into areas (id, name)
Values (3, 'Asia ex Japan');
Insert into areas (id, name)
Values (4, 'Japan');
Insert into areas (id, name, parent_id)
Values (5, 'UK', 1);
Insert into areas (id, name, parent_id)
Values (7, 'France', 1);
Insert into areas (id, name, parent_id)
Values (6, 'Germany', 1);
Insert into areas (id, name, parent_id)
Values (8, 'Italy', 1);
Insert into areas (id, name, parent_id)
Values (9, 'US', 2);
Insert into areas (id, name, parent_id)
Values (10, 'Australia', 3);
Insert into areas (id, name, parent_id)
Values (11, 'New Zealand', 3);
create table places
(
id NUMBER not null,
name VARCHAR2(200) not null,
area_id NUMBER,
parent_id NUMBER,
no_of_pubs NUMBER
);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (1, 'London', 5, NULL, 50);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (2, 'Bath', 5, NULL, 20);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (3, 'Liverpool', 5, NULL, 32);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (4, 'Paris', 7, NULL, 64);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (5, 'New York', 9, NULL, 76);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (6, 'Chicago', 9, NULL, 5);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (7, 'Kings Cross', 5, 1, 6);
Insert into places (id, name, area_id, parent_id)
Values (8, 'Tower of London', 5, 1, 0);
And the following code to represent the data:
with src as (
select 'A' type, a.id, a.name, a.parent_id, null area_id from areas a
union all
select 'P', -p.id id, p.name, -p.parent_id parent_id, area_id from places p)
select
src.*, level
from
src
start with
type = 'A' and parent_id is null
connect by
parent_id = prior id or
parent_id is null and area_id = prior id
Since the last post, I changed the places table, so that every place now has a column called number_of_pubs, what is the best way to calculate this in a hierarchy?
For example, Great Britain will show 108 pubs, London will show 56, and King Cross will show 6.
Hope this explains what I'm trying to achieve.
