If I have the following 'Hierachy' table...

Child | Parent
--------------
  1   |  0
  2   |  1
  3   |  1
  4   |  3
  5   |  4
  6   |  3
  7   |  4


How do I return a list 5,4,3,1 ?

SELECT a.Child FROM Hierachy AS a, Hierachy AS b
WHERE a.Parent = b.Child
AND a.Child = 5;

... is obviously a bit simplistic in my approach.
