I need some help on the following problem. I have an account info
table that has a hierarchy of accounts. The grouping goes from end
user to organization to reseller. I have a PL/SQL function written
that gives me the tree, so I just whittle it down by selecting the one
id for a reseller:
select account_id from roll_account(1186) where hierarchy_type_id = 2
The problem is I have data like this:
account id name
1 Company A
2 Company B
3 Company C
4 Person 1 (in Company A)
5 Person 2 (in Company A)
If I pass it the number of let's say Person 2 -- the above query wold
give me the account id of 1. How can I do a query using that
function so that it automatically inserts the account_id to show the
"rolled up" account id ?

I'm not sure I follow -- what account_id are you trying to insert
and where are you trying to insert it? Do you want something like
this?
SELECT account_id
FROM roll_account(
(SELECT account_id FROM account_info WHERE name = 'Person 2')
)
WHERE hierarchy_type_id = 2;
If that's not what you're after then please provide an example of
the kind of query you'd like to make and what results you expect.
