CONNECT BY or hierarchical queries in RDBMS other than Oracle

Question

Oracle ships with a very handy feature. You can create hierarchical queries (recursive behaviour) using the following clause:

CONNECT BY [NOCYCLE] {condition [AND condition...]} [START WITH condition]

As documented here:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/queries003.htm

I'm wondering, are there any other established RDBMS that support an equivalent or similar syntax? Or can recursive behaviour like this be generically simulated using regular SQL?

A good example that I'd like to be able to simulate is this (taken from the Oracle documentation):

    SELECT LPAD(' ', 2 * (LEVEL-1)) || last_name org_chart, 
           employee_id, manager_id, job_id
      FROM employees
START WITH job_id = 'AD_VP' 
CONNECT BY PRIOR employee_id = manager_id; 

Resulting in:

ORG_CHART          EMPLOYEE_ID MANAGER_ID JOB_ID

The LEVEL pseudo column and the indentation achieved with it is not so important to me
