March 20th, 2009
Description:
ORA-01436 CONNECT BY loop in user data
Cause:
The condition specified in a CONNECT BY clause caused a loop in the query, where the next record to be selected is a descendent of itself. When this happens, there can be no end to the query.
Check the CONNECT BY clause and remove the circular reference.
