A strongly connected component of a directed graph is a set of vertices that are all reachable from each other.
The main characteristics are:
pgr_strongComponents(Edges SQL)
RETURNS SET OF (seq, component, node)
OR EMPTY SET
Example: | The strong components of the graph |
---|
SELECT * FROM pgr_strongComponents(
'SELECT id, source, target, cost, reverse_cost FROM edge_table'
);

Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Edges SQL | TEXT |
Inner query as described below. |
edges SQL: | an SQL query of a directed graph, which should return a set of rows with the following columns: |
---|
Column | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
id | ANY-INTEGER |
Identifier of the edge. | |
source | ANY-INTEGER |
Identifier of the first end point vertex of the edge. | |
target | ANY-INTEGER |
Identifier of the second end point vertex of the edge. | |
cost | ANY-NUMERICAL |
Weight of the edge (source, target)
|
|
reverse_cost | ANY-NUMERICAL |
-1 | Weight of the edge (target, source),
|
Where:
ANY-INTEGER: | SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT |
---|---|
ANY-NUMERICAL: | SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT, REAL, FLOAT |
Returns set of (seq, component, node)
Column | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
seq | BIGINT |
Sequential value starting from 1. |
component | BIGINT |
Component identifier. It is equal to the minimum node identifier in the component. |
node | BIGINT |
Identifier of the vertex that belongs to component. |
