ORA-32480: SEARCH and CYCLE clauses can only be specified for recursive WITH clause elements

文档解释

ORA-32480: SEARCH and CYCLE clauses can only be specified for recursive WITH clause elements

Cause: A SEARCH or a CYCLE clause was specified for a WITH clause element that was not recursive.

Action: Remove the SEARCH or CYCLE clause, or add recursion to the WITH clause element.

ORA-32480错误是一种逻辑错误，表明只有在递归WITH子句中才能指定SEARCH和CYCLE子句。

官方描述：

ORA-32480: SEARCH and CYCLE clauses can only be specified for recursive WITH clause elements

这种错误的常见原因是在WITH子句中指定了SEARCH/CYCLE子句，但该子句没有指定为递归子句。

一般处理方法及步骤

要避免出现此类错误，请确保在使用SEARCH/CYCLE子句时，该子句永远只被用于递归WITH子句元素中，而不是用于普通的关系子句中。另外，还要确保递归子句中没有使用WITH子句。
