如何使用MySql中的递归查询?

    WITH RECURSIVE transitive_closure(a, b, distance, path_string) AS
( SELECT a, b, 1 AS distance,
         a || '.' || b || '.' AS path_string,
         b AS direct_connection
    FROM edges2
   WHERE a = 1 -- set the starting node

   UNION ALL

  SELECT tc.a, e.b, tc.distance + 1,
         tc.path_string || e.b || '.' AS path_string,
         tc.direct_connection
    FROM edges2 AS e
    JOIN transitive_closure AS tc ON e.a = tc.b
   WHERE tc.path_string NOT LIKE '%' || e.b || '.%'
     AND tc.distance < 3
)
SELECT * FROM transitive_closure
--WHERE b=3  -- set the target node
ORDER BY a,b,distance
    WITH RECURSIVE transitive_closure(a, b, dis
