这是一个分类表。

SELECT  id,
        NAME,
        parent_category 
FROM    (SELECT * FROM category
         ORDER BY parent_category, id) products_sorted,
        (SELECT @pv := '2') initialisation
WHERE   FIND_IN_SET(parent_category, @pv) > 0
AND     @pv := CONCAT(@pv, ',', id)

输出:

对另一个问题也是这样吗

Mysql选择递归获取所有子级别

查询将是:

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(lv SEPARATOR ',') FROM (
  SELECT @pv:=(
    SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(id SEPARATOR ',')
    FROM table WHERE parent_id IN (@pv)
  ) AS lv FROM table 
  JOIN
  (SELECT @pv:=1)tmp
  WHERE parent_id IN (@pv)
) a;

查询:

SELECT t1.name AS lev1, t2.name as lev2, t3.name as lev3, t4.name as lev4
FROM category AS t1
LEFT JOIN category AS t2 ON t2.parent = t1.category_id
LEFT JOIN category AS t3 ON t3.parent = t2.category_id
LEFT JOIN category AS t4 ON t4.parent = t3.category_id
WHERE t1.name = 'ELECTRONICS';

输出

大多数用户都曾经在SQL数据库中处理过层次数据，毫无疑问，他们知道层次数据的管理不是关系数据库的目的。关系数据库的表不是分层的(像XML一样)，而只是一个平面列表。层次数据具有亲子关系，在关系数据库表中不能自然地表示这种关系。 阅读更多

更多细节请参考博客。

编辑:

select @pv:=category_id as category_id, name, parent from category
join
(select @pv:=19)tmp
where parent=@pv

输出:

category_id name    parent
19  category1   0
20  category2   19
21  category3   20
22  category4   21

参考:如何在Mysql中做递归SELECT查询?

这是一个有点棘手的问题，检查一下它是否适合你

select a.id,if(a.parent = 0,@varw:=concat(a.id,','),@varw:=concat(a.id,',',@varw)) as list from (select * from recursivejoin order by if(parent=0,id,parent) asc) a left join recursivejoin b on (a.id = b.parent),(select @varw:='') as c  having list like '%19,%';

用字段名和表名替换。

这里没有提到的是，为每个项添加持久路径列，尽管它与第二种备选方案有点相似，但对于大型层次结构查询和简单的(插入、更新、删除)项来说不同且成本较低。

一些像:

id | name        | path
19 | category1   | /19
20 | category2   | /19/20
21 | category3   | /19/20/21
22 | category4   | /19/20/21/22

例子:

-- get children of category3:
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE path LIKE '/19/20/21%'
-- Reparent an item:
UPDATE my_table SET path = REPLACE(path, '/19/20', '/15/16') WHERE path LIKE '/19/20/%'

优化路径长度和ORDER BY路径使用base36编码代替实际数值路径id

 // base10 => base36
 '1' => '1',
 '10' => 'A',
 '100' => '2S',
 '1000' => 'RS',
 '10000' => '7PS',
 '100000' => '255S',
 '1000000' => 'LFLS',
 '1000000000' => 'GJDGXS',
 '1000000000000' => 'CRE66I9S'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base36

还通过对编码的id使用固定长度和填充来抑制斜杠'/'分隔符

构建一个函数或过程，以分割检索一个项的祖先的路径

这是一个分类表。

WHERE   FIND_IN_SET(parent_category, @pv) > 0
AND     @pv := CONCAT(@pv, ',', id)
