Question Versions

An application for testing programmers contains an initial question version and newer question versions, represented by the following schema:

TABLE questions
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
  name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
  parentId INTEGER REFERENCES question(id)

The initial question version has parentId set to NULL, other question versions will have parentId set to the previous version. Each question version can be a parent to only one other question version.

Finish the findAllVersions stored procedure so that it returns, in any order, question version ids that are ancestors or descendants of the given questionId, including the questionId parameter.

See the example case for more details.

Since we’re all biased and we use incorrect proxies, why not just outsource hiring to experts or recruitment agencies? After all, they’ve been screening people for many years, so they must know how to do it right?
