can anyone recommend a good reference source for doing recursive sql on
postgresql? i want to do something similar to a BOM expansion. (i.e. i need
to traverse a self-referencing table that stores a tree structure and answer
a question like "Get me A and all of A's descendents")

candidate who will uphold the rule of law." --Rep. Ron Paul
