Fibonacci numbers in SQL

Example for versions Oracle 10g SQL, Oracle 11g SQL

This example shows the use of model clause, available since Oracle 10g. It allows array-like processing of query rows. Each row has two columns — Fibonacci number itself (stored in f) and concatenation of all Fibonacci numbers less than or equal to the current Fibonacci number (stored in s). Iterative aggregation of Fibonacci numbers in the same query that they were generated is easier than aggregating them separately. 

select max(s) || ', ...'
  from
(select s
   from dual
   model 
     return all rows
     dimension by ( 0 d ) 
     measures ( cast(' ' as varchar2(200)) s, 0 f)
     rules iterate (16)
     (  f[iteration_number] = decode(iteration_number, 0, 1, 1, 1, f[iteration_number-1] + f[iteration_number-2]), 
        s[iteration_number] = decode(iteration_number, 0, to_char(f[iteration_number]), s[iteration_number-1] || ', ' || to_char(f[iteration_number]))
     )
);
