That is almost right, except that it uses id=30016's nch value for every
row in the result, rather than computing each row's own nch.
As an example:
create TABLE m ( id integer primary key, o integer, name text,
f1 integer, f2 integer, f3 integer);
insert into m values (1, 3, 'a', 0, 1, 1);
insert into m values (2, 3, 'a/short', 1, 0, 1);
insert into m values (3, 3, 'a/short/path', 1, 0, 0);
insert into m values (4, 4, 'nothing', 0, 0, 1);
insert into m values (5, 2, 'nothing', 0, 1, 0);
insert into m values (6, 2, 'nothing/of', 1, 0, 0);
insert into m values (7, 2, 'nothing/of/value', 0, 0, 0);
The select should result in something like:
id | o | name | f1 | f2 | f3 | nch
----+---+------------------+----+----+----+-----
1 | 3 | a | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2
2 | 3 | a/short | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1
3 | 3 | a/short/path | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0
4 | 4 | nothing | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0
5 | 2 | nothing | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2
6 | 2 | nothing/of | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1
7 | 2 | nothing/of/value | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0
since rows 2 and 3 are children of row 1, row 3 is also a child of
row 2, rows 6 and 7 are children of row 5 and row 7 is also a child
of row 6.
