I have a file that has  a contract#, a flag that indicates if the file
is a master contract, and a master contract#
so i might have something like

contract    flag    master
1                y
2                y
3                n        1
4                n        2
5                n        1


where contract 1 is a master contract with subordinate contracts 3 and 5

i'm trying to create an SQL statement that will list the master
contracts and the subordinate contracts. So far i haven't been able to
get this to work.  Can i do this in 1 statement.

i want results such as


contract    flag    master
1                y
3                n        1
5                n        1
2                y
4                n        2
