   @terrymanu 
   I am currently working on supporting parameter markers for Oracle's 
`HierarchicalQueryClause` (CONNECT BY / START WITH). I've encountered a dilemma 
regarding the implementation approach and would like your advice.
   
   **Current Situation:**
   I need to extract parameter markers (`?`) from the `HierarchicalQueryClause`.
   
   
   **Option 1: Standard Visitor Pattern (Ideal but blocked)**
   I tried using `visit(ctx.hierarchicalQueryClause())` to follow the standard 
visitor pattern. However, this leads to an **NPE / Infinite Recursion** because 
the underlying visitor logic for `HierarchicalQueryClause` seems incomplete or 
not fully supported in the current `OracleDMLStatementVisitor`.
   
   **Option 2: Raw Text Scanning (Workaround)**
   I implemented a workaround that scans the raw text of the clause to find `?` 
and register parameters.
   * **Pros:** It works and passes the tests.
   * **Cons:** It's a temporary workaround and might incorrectly identify `?` 
inside strings or comments.
   
   **My Question:**
   Should I proceed with **Option 2 (the workaround)** to fix the immediate 
issue for this PR? Or is it required to refactor the entire 
`HierarchicalQueryClause` visitor logic (Option 1) to get this merged?
   
   Thanks!
