Subject help with a select, please!
Author Sergio H. Gonzalez
Hello, I'm trying o do a very simple accounting software.
My Chart of Acounts would be like this

1000
1100 (summarizes in 1000) *
1200 (summarizes in 1000)
1210 (summarizes in 1200) *
1220 (summarizes in 1200) *
1300 (summarizes in 1000) *
1400 (summarizes in 1000)
1410 (summarizes in 1400) *
1420 (summarizes in 1400)
1421 (summarizes in 1420) *
1422 (summarizes in 1420) *

Only the accounts with "no childs" can receive an entry, so if I want to total
amount of the 1000 account, I must to summarize all the entries with the
accounts marked with "*"

I guess the select I need would be recursive, but I'm trying hard to figure out
how to do it with no luck

I have two fields in my accounts table like this

code summarizes_in
----------------------
1000
1100 1000
1200 1000
1210 1200
1220 1200
1300 1000
etc...

Can someone give a clue about how to do it using SQL?
Just in case, I'm using FB 2.1

Thanks!
