如何遍历Oracle中的层次结构数据并对层次结构中同一级别的行进行排序？
问题陈述：您需要从上到下遍历层次结构数据，并对层次结构中同一级别的行进行排序。
解决方案：通常的ORDERBY子句不会在同一层次结构级别上对行进行排序。我们需要在ORDERBY子句中使用SIBLINGS。
此外，Oracle提供了CONNECTBY子句以指定分层查询，即如何连接父节点和子节点，以及PRIOR运算符以定义父节点之间的连接条件，以及LEVEL伪列以指示与父节点之间的距离。当前行是根/父行。
此外，我们可以使用STARTWITH子句来指示从何处开始树导航。我们必须使用PRIOR运算符在父行中指定与子行中的链接列具有相同值的列。
为了遍历整个层次结构，请删除STARTWITH子句。这将使所有学生及其教授和教授的教授（即院长），等等，直到研究所的最高经理/主任。
示例1：对层次结构中同一级别的行进行排序，并在Professor_id=102SQL的父行中：
/*
Function - Identify the hierarchical/structure for the professor_id = 102
Tables Used - students
Data - documented below
*/
SELECT student_id,
level,
lpad('-',(level-1)*3) || first_name || ' ' || last_name AS full_name
FROM students
START WITH professor_id = 102
CONNECT BY professor_id = PRIOR student_id
ORDER SIBLINGS by first_name, last_name;输出结果
103 1 BROWN MICHAEL 106 2 -DAVIS RICHARD 107 2 -GARCIA CHARLES 104 2 -JONES WILLIAM 105 2 -MILLER DAVID
示例2：使用父级行（在Professor_id为null的情况下）对层次结构中同一级别的行进行排序SQL：
/*
Function - Sort the rows at the same level in a hierarchy with in a Parent row
Tables Used - students
Data - documented below
*/
SELECT student_id,
level,
lpad('-',(level-1)*3) || first_name || ' ' || last_name AS full_name
FROM students
START WITH professor_id IS null
CONNECT BY professor_id = PRIOR student_id
ORDER SIBLINGS by first_name, last_name;输出结果
100 1 SMITH JAMES 101 2 -JOHNSON JOHN 108 3 -RODRIGUEZ JOSEPH 111 4 -ANDERSON DANIEL 110 4 -MARTINEZ CHRISTOPHER 112 4 -TAYLOR PAUL 113 4 -THOMAS MARK 109 4 -WILSON THOMAS 102 2 -WILLIAMS ROBERT 103 3 -BROWN MICHAEL 106 4 -DAVIS RICHARD 107 4 -GARCIA CHARLES 104 4 -JONES WILLIAM 105 4 -MILLER DAVID
排序显然发生在层次结构的每个级别。输出显示在SMITHJAMES下，直接下属是在第2级中按字母顺序排列的JOHNSONJOHN和WILLIAMSROBERT。在JOHNSONJOHN下，我们在第3级中还有其他下级以字母顺序完全排序。
数据准备：用于该问题的数据如下所示。数据完全用于演示目的。
