Introduction: Unraveling Hierarchical Data Visualization

Hierarchical data is prevalent in many applications, from organizational structures to file systems. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the power of recursive views in PostgreSQL, providing a clear path to visualize and manage hierarchical data effectively.

Section 1: Understanding Hierarchical Data Structures

Before diving into recursive views, let’s lay the groundwork. Understand hierarchical data structures, including trees and graphs, and their representation in databases.

Section 2: Recursive Queries — The Foundation

Discover the basics of recursive queries in PostgreSQL, which enable you to query hierarchical data by iteratively selecting parent-child relationships.
