Do you know how to do it ???

[Anon]

I have two tables ( oracle database ) :
concept table that has :
id_number, label, comments, author_name, tstp, discussion_id)

concept_dependencies table that has :
parent_id ( is the same as id_number from the concept table), child_id
description,desc_author_name, tstp)

The problem here is :
When The user enter a parent_id, I have to output from this parent_id
all the children and children-children, they want it to look like those forum threads.

I spent lot of time just thinking how to do it, thanks again,
Your help will be appreciated.

the only way i can think of doing this is using recursive programming.

have a function calling itself. to move down the tree until the last branch

am i making sense?? my brain is not working
