Postgresを使用した再帰/階層クエリ

[この回答はゴードンの回答に基づいています]

arr_timeとdep_timeをTIMEに変更しました 計算を容易にするデータ型。total_timeとwaiting_timeの結果列も追加されました。 注 ：グラフにループが存在する可能性がある場合は、それらを回避する必要があります（おそらく、パスを格納するために配列を使用します）

WITH RECURSIVE segs AS (
  SELECT f0.flight_num::text as flight
            , src_city, dest_city
            , dep_time AS departure
            , arr_time AS arrival
            , airfare, mileage
            , 1 as hops
            , (arr_time - dep_time)::interval AS total_time
            , '00:00'::interval as waiting_time
  FROM flight f0
  WHERE src_city = 'SLC' -- <SRC_CITY>
  UNION ALL
  SELECT s.flight || '-->' || f1.flight_num::text as flight
            , s.src_city, f1.dest_city
            , s.departure AS departure
            , f1.arr_time AS arrival
            , s.airfare + f1.airfare as airfare
            , s.mileage + f1.mileage as mileage
            , s.hops + 1 AS hops
            , s.total_time + (f1.arr_time - f1.dep_time)::interval AS total_time
            , s.waiting_time + (f1.dep_time - s.arrival)::interval AS waiting_time
  FROM segs s
     JOIN flight f1
       ON f1.src_city = s.dest_city
       AND f1.dep_time > s.arrival -- you can't leave until you are there
)
SELECT *
FROM segs
WHERE dest_city = 'LA' -- <DEST_CITY>
ORDER BY airfare desc
    ;

参考：テーブル構造の変更：

create table flight
  ( flight_num BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY
  , src_city varchar
  , dest_city varchar
  , dep_time TIME
  , arr_time TIME
  , airfare INTEGER
  , mileage INTEGER
);

そしてデータへ：
