| For simplicity let's say I have a two table each have two columns(ParentCategory,CurrentCat)null,Shoesshoes,SneakersSneakers,NikeSneakers,Reboketc.(CurrentCat,Product)Nike,JordansRebok,Shaqshow could I query Sneakers and return(Results)JordansShaqsand also how could Query 'nike'and get the catagoryShoes,Sneakers,NikePlease keep in mind this can go on far more then just the 3 levels, I stopped at the three to keep it simple. I'm thinking along the lines of a while exists and appending the string, but is this the best method?Thanks |

| Are you v2005?If so look at CTEs in bol - it has a bit on hierarchies.If not do a search - there's stuff on this site andhttp://www.nigelrivett.net/SQLTsql/RetrieveTreeHierarchy.html==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
