I have a table which includes a text column containing posix-style
paths.  Ie, matching the regexp "^[^/]+(/[^/]+)*$".

I need to do a query of a number of columns from that table, plus the
count of rows which are "children" of the current row.

The query:

  SELECT count(*) AS nch FROM m WHERE o = (SELECT o FROM m WHERE id=30016)
                AND name ILIKE (SELECT name || '/%' FROM m WHERE id=30016);

selects that extra column given the id.

A view containing all of the columns from m plus a column matching the
above select would cover my needs well.

But I haven't been able to get the syntax right.


It would help if you provided:
a) statements to create sample data
b) expected results from sample data

Does this do what you want?

select * from m, (SELECT count(*) AS nch FROM m WHERE o = (SELECT o FROM m WHERE id=30016) AND name ILIKE (SELECT name || '/%' FROM m WHERE id=30016)) om;
