I have goal to create query which return me item ids regarding position in chain.
I have chain logic, each element has right and left fk and index.
Chain can contains elements which can added like append and like prepend approach, regarding this id from table not help to build current chain dependencies.
This is db structure
create table public.chain_data
(
id integer not null
constraint chain_data_pkey
primary key,
unique_identifiers_id integer not null
constraint fk_388447e52a0b191e
references public.unique_identifiers
on delete cascade,
chain_data_name varchar(255) not null,
carriage boolean default false,
left_id integer not null
constraint fk_388447e5e26cce02
references public.chain_data,
right_id integer
constraint fk_388447e554976835
references public.chain_data
);
alter table public.chain_data
owner to "universal-counter";
create index idx_388447e52a0b191e
on public.chain_data (unique_identifiers_id);
create unique index left_right_uniq_idx
on public.chain_data (right_id, left_id);
create unique index carriage_uniq_index
on public.chain_data (unique_identifiers_id, carriage)
where (carriage <> false);
and data example. this chain began from id = 10 and then was prepend new items(rows) in start of chain. Each element has left and right dependencies. So inserts:
INSERT INTO public.chain_data (id, unique_identifiers_id, chain_data_name, carriage, left_id, right_id)
VALUES
(10, 8, 'dddd_2', true, 22, null),
(22, 8, 'shuba', false, 23, 10),
(24, 8, 'viktor', false, null, 23),
(23, 8, 'ivan', false, 24, 22);
Regarding this query should to return ids like this
24, 23, 22, 10
because element with id = 24 present on start chain then by left and right dependencies obviously 23, 22 and 10 id= 10 is last element in chain
