SQL - Създаване на асоциации между полета (преходна връзка)

Е, не мога да кажа нищо за ORACLE, но можете да го управлявате с рекурсивен CTE в sql сървър. Ето моето примерно решение, то прави това, което поискахте, ако приемем, че имате таблица, която картографира връзката много към много от една таблица към себе си

DECLARE @testData table (EntityID int, EntityName varchar(1))

UNION
