Hi Everyone,

Below are the scripts to reproduce the error

CREATE TABLE TESTING
(
C1 NUMBER,
C2 NUMBER,
GRP NUMBER
);


Insert into TESTING
(C1, C2, GRP)
Values
(1, 2, 100);
Insert into TESTING
(C1, C2, GRP)
Values
(1, 3, 100);
Insert into TESTING
(C1, C2, GRP)
Values
(2, 5, 200);
Insert into TESTING
(C1, C2, GRP)
Values
(3, 11, 200);
Insert into TESTING
(C1, C2, GRP)
Values
(11, 1, 400);
COMMIT;

SELECT sys_connect_by_path(C1,'/') AS C1,C2
FROM TESTING
CONNECT BY C1 = PRIOR C2

I am getting "ORA-01436: CONNECT BY loop in user data" because of Recurssion.

My Oracle Version is 9.2.0.5, can you guide me how to resolve in 9.2.0.5
In Oracle 10g I have read that we can achieve through NOCYCLE option

Can you please guide me how to solve this in Oracle 9.2.0.5 Version

Thanks in Advance,
Sankar
