Table [Products](
[ProdID] [int] IDENTITY (1,1)
[ParentID] [int],
[Description] [varchar](75),
[Price] [float],
[IsCategory] [bit])

In this table, products are associated to categories. They are distinguish by [IsCategory]. I need to update [Price] where [ProdID] is in a category (ParentID = IsCategory/ProdID). The rub is that there will be subcategories and subcategories of subcategories, ... I see this as a recursive stored proc but How do I recursively UPDATE [Price]? I understand the Temporary Table example and Threaded Message Board Query but I need to somehow merge these.

I will be passing the main CategoryID [ProdID] and amount to change [Price] by. Thank you for your assistance.

OS:Windows 2000 Server ~ MS Sql 7 Server sp3
