Den Spanning Forest finden (MIT REKURSIVE, PostgreSQL 9.5)

Ich habe vor einiger Zeit eine Antwort auf eine ähnliche Frage geschrieben:How to find all connected subgraphs of an undirected graph . In dieser Frage habe ich SQL Server verwendet. Siehe diese Antwort für eine detaillierte Erklärung der Zwischen-CTEs. Ich habe diese Abfrage an Postgres angepasst.

Es kann effizienter geschrieben werden, indem die Postgres-Array-Funktion verwendet wird, anstatt den Pfad in einen text zu verketten Spalte.

    UNION ALL

    SELECT

        , CTE_Pairs.Ident1
        , CTE_Pairs.Ident2

  GROUP BY CTE_Idents.Ident

SELECT AllIdents

GROUP BY AllIdents
;

Ich habe eine Zeile (7,X,Y) hinzugefügt zu Ihren Beispieldaten.
