Oracle start with connect by ...
oracle 提供了start with connect by 语法结构可以实现递归查询。
1. 一个简单举例:
SQL> select * from test;
BILL_MONTH DAY_NUMBER MSISDN
-------------------- ---------- --------------------
200803 1 13800
200803 3 13800
200803 2 13800
200803 2 13801
200803 4 13804
200803 5 13804
200803 7 13804
200803 8 13804
200803 6 13802
200803 6 13801
200803 7 13801
200803 8 13801
12 rows selected
SQL>
SQL> select * from test
2 start with day_number=1
3 connect by prior day_number=day_number-1 and prior msisdn= msisdn
4 ;
BILL_MONTH DAY_NUMBER MSISDN
-------------------- ---------- --------------------
200803 1 13800
200803 2 13800
200803 3 13800
SQL>
上面的语句查找出了从1开始，并且day_number 逐渐+1 递增的，并且 msisdn 相同的哪些个数据.
2. start with connect by 语法结构
如上面说看到的 例子， 其语法结构为 start with condition connect by condition （含 prior 关键字)
start with conditon 给出的seed 数据的范围, connect by 后面给出了递归查询的条件,prior 关键字表示父数据，prior 条件表示子数据需要满足父数据的什么条件。
在下面的这个start with connect by 结构中，就表示 查找出了从1开始，并且day_number 逐渐+1 递增的，并且 msisdn 相同的那些个数据.
start with day_number=1
connect by prior day_number=day_number-1 and prior msisdn= msisdn
3. 执行计划
对于这个特殊的语法结构，我们来看看它的执行计划。
通过下面的执行计划，我们可以看出，对于简单的访问一个对象的递归查询，实际上oracle 要三次访问要查询的对象。因此，这一个告诉我们，在使用递归查询时，一定要谨慎，因为即使原表数据不多，但是三倍的访问喜爱来，代价也会很大。
SQL> explain plan for
2
2 select * from test
3 --where bill_month='200803'
4 start with day_number=1
5 connect by prior day_number=day_number-1 and prior msisdn= msisdn
6 ;

另外，发现了在含有其他条件的递归中，是先处理所有的递归查询，最后才用加入的条件过滤.
请看下面的例子。
和上面的执行计划对比下我们可以知道，加入条件 where bill_month='200803' 后，实际上却是在递归完成后，最后才执行的 1 - filter("TEST"."BILL_MONTH"='200803') 。
所以，为了确保语句的性能，不要直接加入条件在start with connect by 结构中，而是要想办法将原表的数据控制住。这个可以采用子查询的办法，或者使用临时表等（最好采用临时表，将数据量从本源上控制住；因为从子查询的执行计划我们可以看到，它每次也都是访问全表，再用条件过滤，要重复三次，不是一次过滤就够了).

4. 实际中 递归查询的使用。
问题：
数据库里有字段day_number，msisdn。如何写月度连续3天有记录的手机号？表结构如下：
id bill_month day_number msisdn
1 200803 1 13800000000
2 200803 1 130137.....
3 200803 2 13800000000
4 200803 3 13800000000
..............................
表中3月份连续3天有记录的纪录就是1380000000。请问如何写这样的sql？
解决方案：
SQL> create table test ( bill_month varchar2(20),day_number number ,msisdn varchar2(20));
Table created
SQL> insert into test values ( '200803',1,'13800');
