Good Morning,
Someone has better solution about the following query situation?
table test with two columns with primary key (id1, id2)
id1, id2
=========
1 2
1 3
12 3
13 5
Query conditions:
=====================
(1) a->b => b->a
(2) a->b and a->c => a->c
Expected return:
id1 id2
===========
1 2
1 3
1 12
2 1
2 3
2 12
3 1
3 2
3 12
12 1
12 2
12 3
13 5
I did:
create view v_test AS
select id1 , id2 from test
union
select id2, id1 from test;
(
SELECT a.id1 , b.id2
FROM v_test AS a
left join v_test AS b
ON (a.id2 = b.id1)
WHERE a.id1 <> b.id2
)
UNION
(
SELECT id1, id2
FROM v_test
)
order by id1 ;
The query is a bit complex, do we have a better system func or query for
this?
Thanks a lot!
