I'm not sure I follow -- what account_id are you trying to insert
and where are you trying to insert it? Do you want something like
this?
SELECT account_id
FROM roll_account( (SELECT account_id FROM account_info WHERE name = 'Person 2')
)
WHERE hierarchy_type_id = 2;
If that's not what you're after then please provide an example of
the kind of query you'd like to make and what results you expect.
