Hierarchial query

Peter GjelstrupNov 3 2009 — edited Nov 9 2009
Hi,

I have a problem with a hierarchial query and hope someone can figure it out.

I have been given a proprietary table of bank days and want to turn it into something
more useful.

This is the table along with some test data (Ten days only, actual dayvector has 365/366 characters)
SQL> create table bankcalendar(year number(4) not null primary key
                         ,dayvector varchar2(366) not null)
Table created.
SQL> insert into bankcalendar values (2008, '-+++--++++')
1 row created.
SQL> insert into bankcalendar values (2009, '-+--+++++-')
1 row created.
SQL> commit
Commit complete.
I'm trying to convert this into one row for each bank day. Something like:
SQL> select year anno
          ,to_date(year || '01', 'yyyymm') + level - 1 calendar_date
          ,case substr(dayvector, level, 1)
              when '-' then 0
              when '+' then 1
           end
              is_bankday
      from (select *
              from bankcalendar
             where year = 2009)
connect by level <= length(dayvector)

      ANNO CALENDAR IS_BANKDAY
---------- -------- ----------
      2009 09-01-01          0
      2009 09-01-02          1
      2009 09-01-03          0
      2009 09-01-04          0
      2009 09-01-05          1
      2009 09-01-06          1
      2009 09-01-07          1
      2009 09-01-08          1
      2009 09-01-09          1
      2009 09-01-10          0

10 rows selected.
My problem is, how do I get rid of that 2009 in the query, so I can have all bank days at once.

Regards
Peter
