Task

Swipe to start coding

Create a recursive CTE to list all subcategories under the "Electronics" category in the product_categories table, displaying each category's depth in the hierarchy.

  • Use a recursive CTE to traverse the product category hierarchy starting from the "Electronics" category.
  • For each category, include its category_id, category_name, parent_category_id, and the hierarchy depth.
  • The root category ("Electronics") should have a depth of 1.
  • Each direct child should have a depth of 2, their children a depth of 3, and so on.
  • Only include categories that are descendants of "Electronics" (including "Electronics" itself).
