Hello!

I want to say that it would be fantastic when you include the Oracle like 
"CONNECT BY" patch (see gppl.terminal.ru/readme.html) in the next version of 
PostgreSQL.
It is very usefull for people that have to handle such kind of hierarchical 
data.

Yes, very useful -- but use the SQL 99 syntax for recursive queries and
not the wonky Oracle version.  It's more flexible.

Looking forward to the patch ;)
