For the latter, GraphQL itself explicitly forbids recursivity [0], as it's impossible to guarantee that in all cases the data isn't infinitely recursive, especially with cyclic queries, which could lead to a denial-of-service. Postgres has its own support for recursive queries [1], however you'd need to strap a pagination layer on top in order to make it work with GraphQL.
