SPL script:
| A | |
|---|---|
| 1 | =connect(“db”) |
| 2 | =A1.query@x(“select * from ChinaRegion”) |
| 3 | >A2.switch(PARENT_ID,A2:ID) |
| 4 | =A2.select@1(name==“Hebei”) |
| 5 | =A2.nodes(PARENT_ID,A4) |
| 6 | =A5.new(ID,NAME,PARENT_ID.NAME:PARENT_NAME) |
A1 Connect to the database.
A2 Query ChinaRegion table.
A3 Map foreign key PARENT_ID to the corresponding record to achieve self-join.
A4 Get the record of Hebei province.
A5 Use nodes() function to search references recursively to get records where the direct or indirect PARENT_ID is Hebei .
A6 Create a table sequence consisting of ID, region name and upper-level region name.
