Hi,
I would like to populate the children_ids column with all the ids of
the children recursively (+ grandchildren etc.)
If I do it top-bottom I will end up doing extra work since there is no
need to go all levels down if I can just compute my IMMEDIATE children
"children_ids" and just concatenate all their lists.
I looked at

But was not able to get it to work on my case.
Your assistance is most welcome!
create table tree(id int primary key, parent int, children_ids text);
insert into tree (id, parent) values

I'm sorry, what output format are you looking for? Perhaps an array of
all descendants for each founder? (founder int, descendants int[]). I
recommend a null for no-known-parent rather than zero. Or just founder
int, descendant int? With or without sub-trees?
