Rewrite of a recursive query using hierarchy

orausernNov 9 2011 — edited Nov 9 2011
Hi,
We are on oracle 10.2.0.4 on solaris 10. My question is on a sql query. Is it possible to rewrite a query to avoid the connect by and prior constructs and use joins? For example i have the following query:
SELECT empno,
       ename,
       job,
       mgr,
       hiredate
FROM   emp
START WITH empno in (7566,7698)
CONNECT BY PRIOR empno = mgr
how can it be rewritten using a two table join (self join)? I am not sure if it can be done and need help on whether it is possible.
thanks
