Subject: iteration of query

Can you specify that a query is to iterate until nomore results are found ?
As suggested in the ACM 34:10 paper on postgres, ie

retrieve * into answer
(PARENT.parent) from a in answer
where PARENT.method = "SINE"
or PARENT.method = a.parent \g

when I run such a query postgres hangs-up.

If I the space between the retrieve command and * is missing the parser returns 
an error.

Thanks Paul
