Inventory by LocationId

Hi,

I have a problem with an inventory system I'm designing. It is an inventory system by LocationId. The problem I have is that the locations are hierarchical. By hierarchical I mean that a given location might belong to a next location.

For example given the following (simplified) schema of 3 tables (Locations, Articles and Inventory)

CREATE TABLE Locations (
LocationId INTEGER NOT NULL,
ParentLocationId INTEGER NULL,
CONSTRAINT w_Ub_LLAVE PRIMARY KEY (LocationId)
)
GO

INSERT INTO Locations (LocationId,ParentLocationId) VALUES (1,NULL);
INSERT INTO Locations (LocationId,ParentLocationId) VALUES (2,NULL);
INSERT INTO Locations (LocationId,ParentLocationId) VALUES (3,NULL);
INSERT INTO Locations (LocationId,ParentLocationId) VALUES (4,1);
INSERT INTO Locations (LocationId,ParentLocationId) VALUES (5,4);
INSERT INTO Locations (LocationId,ParentLocationId) VALUES (6,4);
INSERT INTO Locations (LocationId,ParentLocationId) VALUES (7,5);

CREATE TABLE Articles (
ItemId INTEGER NOT NULL,
Description VARCHAR(50),
CONSTRAINT ArticlePK PRIMARY KEY (ItemId)
)
GO

INSERT INTO Articles (ItemId,Description) VALUES (100,'BREAD');

CREATE TABLE Inventory (
LocationId INTEGER NOT NULL,
ItemId INTEGER NOT NULL,
Qty DECIMAL(14,4) NULL,
CONSTRAINT InventoryPK PRIMARY KEY (LocationId,ItemId)
)
GO

INSERT INTO Inventory (LocationId,ItemId,Qty) VALUES (1,100,5);
INSERT INTO Inventory (LocationId,ItemId,Qty) VALUES (2,100,5);
INSERT INTO Inventory (LocationId,ItemId,Qty) VALUES (3,100,5);
INSERT INTO Inventory (LocationId,ItemId,Qty) VALUES (4,100,5);
INSERT INTO Inventory (LocationId,ItemId,Qty) VALUES (5,100,5);
INSERT INTO Inventory (LocationId,ItemId,Qty) VALUES (6,100,5);
INSERT INTO Inventory (LocationId,ItemId,Qty) VALUES (7,100,5);

I would like to list the contents by locationId.

For example, if I list LocationId=1 I should get
5 (in LocationId = 1) +
5 (in LocationId = 4 which belongs to 1) +
5 (in LocationId=5 which belongs to 4 which belongs to 1) +
5 (in LocationId=6 which belongs to 4 which belongs to 1) +
5 (in LocationId=7 which belongs to 5 which belongs to 4 which belongs to 1)
= 25

If I list LocationId=7 I would only get 5 (those in locationId=7)

If I list LocationId=5 I would bet 10 (those in LocationId=5 and those in LocationId=7).

Hopefully I was able to explain myself. Does anybody know how this could be done?

Thanks,
Edgard

[code]
DECLARE @LOcationID int
SET @LocationID = 1

;With location_CTE
AS
(
SELECT LocationId,ParentLocationId
FROM Locations
WHERE LocationId = @LOcationID
UNION ALL
SELECT l.LocationId,l.ParentLocationId
FROM LOcation_CTE c
JOIN Locations l
ON l.ParentLocationId = c.LocationId
)
SELECT SUM(Qty) AS Total
FROM location_CTE c
INNER JOIN Inventory i
ON i.LocationId = c.LocationId
OPTION (NMAXRECURSION 0)
[/code]
