+1. In my opinion this is of the same priority as the (+) syntax for outer joins (in case on or the other is more difficult to do).

Hierarchical Query
Hierarchical queries are very useful to operate on hierarchical data. The PostgreSQL does not support it and It would be a good feature to add into the IvorySQL compatible list.
The usual clauses for a hierarchical query support are:
{ CONNECT BY [ NOCYCLE ] condition [AND condition]... [ START WITH condition ] | START WITH condition CONNECT BY [ NOCYCLE ] condition [AND condition]... }
CONNECT BY The query syntax starts with CONNECT BY keywords which define the hierarchical interdependency between parent and child rows. The results must be further qualified by specifying the PRIOR keyword in the condition part for CONNECT BY clause.
The PRIOR keyword is a unary operator which links the previous row with the current one. The keyword can be used on the left or the right hand side of the equality condition. In case a loop is detected in the results, an error is returned to the user and the query aborted.
START WITH This clause specified from which row to start the hierarchy.
NOCYCLE This clause instructs to return data even if a cycle exists.
