Subject selecting concatenated records
Author Sergio H. Gonzalez
hello!! I have this situation, and don't know how to solve it...

My table:

ID ORIGINAL_ID
====================
1 NULL
2 1
3 2
4 NULL
5 1


So, the ID 1 has two children (2 and 5) and 2 has one children (3). Of
course, ID 3 could have N children and so on...

What I need is to select all the descendants of a given record. For
instance, I want to select all the records related to ID 1, I would have:

ID ORIGINAL_ID
====================
1 NULL
2 1
3 2
5 1

It sounds that I should use recursion, but I can't figure out how...

Thank you very much!!!!

Sergio.
