I have hundreds of rows in Table A, each with an Organization ID, Organization Name, and Parent ID.
There's also an Organization table which contains the Organization mappings (this also has an Organization ID, Organization Name, Parent ID). - The parent ID is basically an Organization ID, referring to the Parent Organization (and this is recursive, so each Parent can have another Parent etc.)
The problem I have is in Table A. I need to create new columns showing the parent hierarchy starting from the Organization Name in the table.
This step is quite easy, simply using a JOIN with the Organization table ON Parent ID works pretty well.
The complication comes here:
-Every Organization in Table A is the lowest level in its hierarchy (i.e. it doesn't have any children).
- Every Organization in Table A has a varying amount of parents (i.e. some might have 1 parent who then has another parent, or some might have 1 parent as the BOSS (top most level))
I need to organise the Table so that each organization can have its parents listed beside (one in each column), and should show NULL if it doesn't have a parent at a certain level. - This bit is difficult to explain, so I've attached an image
So essentially, regardless of how many parents an organization has, the top most parent (BOSS) should always appear under the same column. (image explains this)...
This structure requires complicated queries (recursive call) to find out all the child of a root node, so I have added another field for the root id. Is this a good relational database design ? kindly suggest.
Hi Expert,How do I flatten a Parent Child hierarchy to regular flat data: pleaseprovide some SQL code:I have now:Task_ID, Parent_Task_ID, Task_NameLevel11Project Management121Costing231Estimating242Task1352Task2363Task3373Task43I want to have:Level1Level2Level3Project ManagementCostingTask1Project ManagementCostingTask2Project ManagementEstimatingTask3Project ManagementEstimatingTask4Please help, I am stuck!Thanks in advance.Soumya
insert into Hier select 'subramanium','Manickam' union all select 'subramanium','Munuswamy' union all select 'Munuswamy','senthil' union all select 'Munuswamy','sasi' union all select 'Munuswamy','uma' union all select 'manickam','vijay' union all select 'manickam','bhavani' union all select 'manickam','dhanam' union all select 'uma','varsha'
Delete from Hier where child='uma'
I tried:
select parent from Hier where parent not in(select Child from Hier) and parent <> 'subramanium' Getting resultset as: parent ====== uma
I need to know whether my select statement is correct or not,if its correct,how to write the same in CTE?
I want to enable a drill down on a parent child hierarchy, just as it is possible in the Analysis Services.
An Example :
Hierarchy in a company : Jack (1) is the boss, Frank (2) and Andy (3) ar the Semi-Bosses , and Julia (4), Jane (5), Henry (6), Michael (7), Will (8) , Dave (9) are normal employees . Timmy(10) is a trainee. Furthermore Frank is responsible for Julia,Jane and Henry and Andy is responsible for Michael WIll and Dave. Dave is responsible for Timmy. So we get the following tree hierarchy structure.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
My Employee Dimension Attributes : Name, Parent
I want to make a report, where I show the salary of each employee. But at first the user only sees 1, when he drills down he sees 2 and 3, too. When he drills down once more he sees 4 5 6 and 7 8 9, too (The user must be able to recognize which person is responsible for 456 and which for 789). And the last drill down shows 10, for which 9 is responsible ( exactly as it is possible in the analyis Service in the Cubebrowser)
I have read some posts where are MDX examples which are similar to my problem, but they did not solve my problem.
Include children and exclude children in a single hierarchy in parent child dimension in mdx
*12-parent  **20-parent  - 9-parent       --250-child1       --210-child2     --240-child3 aggregation of 12-parent only aggregation of 20-parent only aggregation of 9 with children
how to create a hierarchy using SQL. I have a database with ID numbers that are duplicated based on customer preferences. For example, an ID number can fall into multiple categories
ID# 001 in section A ID# 001 in section B ID# 001 in section C
The same ID Number is in section A, B and C.The hierarchy is that A is at the top and C is at the bottom. So, if my ID number is in all 3 sections (A, B & C) I only want to count it as falling into section A as that is at the top of the rating scale.
I have the below query which in turn goes in the where clause
Code:
SELECT CASE WHEN EXISTS (SELECT child.id FROM InspectionType parent, InspectionType child WHERE parent.id = child.parentId AND parent.code = 'INSPECTION_TYPE_SAFETY_LIFE' AND parent.zoneId = 10129) THEN (SELECT child.id FROM InspectionType parent, InspectionType child WHERE parent.id = child.parentId AND parent.code ='INSPECTION_TYPE_SAFETY_LIFE' AND parent.zoneId = 10129) ELSE (SELECT id FROM InspectionType WHERE code = 'INSPECTION_TYPE_SAFETY_LIFE' AND zoneId = 10129) END
I am getting below error
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
I tried to solve this problem with If and else but it is not going well with in-clause
Code: select * from InspectionType where id in (select IF EXISTS (SELECT child.id FROM InspectionType parent, InspectionType child WHERE parent.id = child.parentId AND parent.code = 'INSPECTION_TYPE_SAFETY_LIFE' AND parent.zoneId = 10129) BEGIN (SELECT child.id FROM InspectionType parent, InspectionType child WHERE parent.id = child.parentId AND parent.code ='INSPECTION_TYPE_SAFETY_LIFE' AND parent.zoneId = 10129) END ELSE (SELECT id FROM InspectionType WHERE code = 'INSPECTION_TYPE_SAFETY_LIFE' AND zoneId = 10129) )
I am using select * from InspectionType where id in() for illustation only. The sub-query results will go another query
Code: SELECT child.id FROM InspectionType parent, InspectionType child WHERE parent.id = child.parentId AND parent.code ='INSPECTION_TYPE_SAFETY_LIFE' AND parent.zoneId = 10129
This returns more than one row.I know why is the error message but need to achieve this functionality.
Given the sample data and query below, I would like to know if it is possible to have the outcome be a single row, with the ChildTypeId, c.StartDate, c.EndDate being contained in the parent row. Â So, the outcome I'm hoping for based on the data below for ParentId = 1 would be:
HI! I am new in DB so I need some advices for finding the right solution. I need to be able to make automatically any join between tables which the user choose and deliver the result. is like making an hierarchy between all tables in DB (parent-child) and then making the select statement for the right join.
if u have any idea about how can I manage this, pls help me.
I have an Interesting situation that I'm hoping some of you experts can help me with basically I have the following hierarchy:
Net Profit .....Gross Profit ..........Revenue ..........Direct Costs .....Indirect Expense
Now, I have another hierarchy - separate from the above - that I need to assimilate to the hierarchy above - Example:
Expenses .....Node a ..........Child a (Indirect Expense Type) .....Child b (Direct Cost type) Net Sales Adjustments .....Child a (Revenue type) .....Child b (Revenue type)
Depending on the type, the top most node needs to be assigned to the appropriate node in the initial hierarcy, like this:
Net Profit ....Gross Profit ........Revenue ................Net Sales Adjustments ....................Child a (Revenue type) ....................Child b (Revenue type) ........Direct Costs ...........Expenses .................Child b (Direct Cost type) ........Indirect Expense ............Expenses .................Node a .....................Child a (Indirect Expense Type)
Now, I've been able to figure out how to assign the top most node and leafs if all the children have the same type (using the expan stored proc listed in the books online), but my question is on this portion:
Expenses .....Node a ...........Child a (Indirect Expense Type) .....Child b (Direct Cost type)
Basically, the answer is to work backwards - if a child has a type that is different than the other children, a copy of the hierarch (up to the child) needs to be made and assigned to the appropriate initial node.
I've tried modifying the expand stored proc to give me the lineage of the child and see if there's a way I can copy the node and place it appropriately - I'm brainfried at this point, and I'm hoping that someone outthere can point me in the right direction.
Hai everyone., i need to get solution for tree hierarchy in sql is there any solution or any keyword like 'connect by prior' in oracle .. plz help me on this..
for example: id | FName |parentid | 1 | sandy | 2 | robert| 1
if i give the parentid 1 in where condition of a query i need the details of 'sandy'
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to write I SP on the following table that will produce the results show at the bottom. My main problem is the sorting, is there a way I loop through the records in TSQL and ORDER BY SortSort where the ParentID's are the same?
i tried on CTE but iam not gettng correct result plz help me
Declare @TMaster Table (MasterId int, Type varchar(100), ParentMasterId int) Insert into @Tmaster Select 1, 'Fixed', 14 Union All Select 2, 'Flexible',14 union All Select 3, 'Others',14 union All Select 13, 'Retirement benefits',1 union All Select 14, 'PBHeads', 0
Select * From @Tmaster
Declare @TDetails Table ( MasterId Int, Description varchar(100)) Insert into @TDetails Select 1, 'Basic' union all Select 1,'Conveyance' union all Select 1,'HRA' union all Select 1,'Special Allowance' union all Select 2, 'Children Education' union all Select 2,'Travel Allowance' union all Select 2,'Medical Expenses' union all Select 2,'Variable Spl Pay' union all Select 3, 'Project Allowance' union all Select 3,'Quarterly Incentive' union all Select 3,'Shift Allowance' union all Select 3,'Annual Component' union all Select 13,'Provident Fund' union all Select 13,'Gratuity' union all Select 13,'Super annuation'
Select * From @TDetails
in group list we have to show fixed, flexible, other in subgroups(L1) list under fixed we have to show Basic salary, HRA, Conveyance, Special Allowance,Retirement benefits
in subgroup(L2) we have to show Gratuity, providedfund, Super annuation they are subgroups of retirementbenefits
output : Group Subgroup(L1) Subgroup(L2) Fixed Basic salary HRA Conveyance Special Allowance Retirement benefits Provident Fund Gratuity Super annuation
Flexible reimbursements LTA/Group Travel Medical expenses Children education variable special pay
Others Project allowance Performance incentive Medical insurance
I also have the following query (again ive stripped out the non-relevant fields)
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT SUM(dbo.RECORD.Stock_Held_Number) AS TotalStock, CATEGORY.Name AS FundName FROM CATEGORY LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.RECORD ON CATEGORY.ID = dbo.RECORD.CATEGORY_id GROUP BY CATEGORY.Name, RECORD.Stock_Held_Number
At the moment its grouping all the CATEGORIES and giving me a sum total for each which is great.
The problem I have is the CATEGORY table, there is an optional join to parent CATEGORY records on the table.
What Im trying to do is to provide a fully ordered result within the CATEGORIES and I don't have a clue.
For example:
The CATEGORY table has the following values ID Name Parent_Category_id 1 Pens 2 Animals 3 Rocks 4 Horses 2 5 Dogs 2
When I currently run the query I get: Name TotalStock Pens 20 Animals 30 Rocks 40 Horses 50 Dogs 60
It's technically correct because I don't want the parent to calculate the total value of the children
What Im really trying to do is order them within the hierarchy though and indent (if possible) the result so I would get
I have structure:FolderId, FolderName, ParentFolderId, FullPathe.g.1, First, null, First2, Sec, 1, First/Sec.....When update happens to FolderName, i need to update all FullPaths thatare below Folder which is changing.Any ideas?Thank you.
Greetings!I could really use some suggestions on how to improve on thefollowing, it at all possible:Table 'Customer'---------------------ID GUID PK....Table 'Facility'-----------------ID GUID PKCustomerID GUID FK (FK to Customer GUID)....Table 'Rate'----------------ID PKOwnerID GUID Nullable FK (FK to Customer, Facility GUID PK)OwnerLevel INT Contraint 1-3<Rate Data>Table 'Rate' is a sparse hierarchy of data. There are 3 possiblelevels in the hierarchy as follows:OwnerID <NULL>OwnerLevel 1This indicates Global rate data.OwnerID <Customer.ID>OwnerLevel 2This indicates Customer-specific rate data.OwnerID <Facility.ID>OwnerLevel 3This indicates Facility-specific rate data.Now, a given Customer need not have an entry in the Rate table. If aCustomer does not have an entry, it is supposed to 'inherit' Globalrate data. A given Facility need not have an entry in the Rate table.If a Facility does not have an entry, it is supposed to inheritCustomer-specific rate data, and in the absence of an entry for theFacility's parent Customer, it is supposed to inherit Global ratedata.The challenge is that I want to write a view to give me back theappropriate rate record for Customer and Facility. Here's what I'vedone so far.View _Rate--------------SELECTRate.*,NULL AS TargetIDFROMRateWHERERate.OwnerID IS NULLUNIONSELECTRate.*,Customer.ID AS TargetIDFROMRateCROSS JOINCustomerWHERERate.OwnerID IS NULLOR Rate.OwnerID = Customer.IDUNIONSELECTRate.*,Facility.ID AS TargetIDFROMRateCROSS JOINFacilityWHERERate.OwnerID IS NULLOR Rate.OwnerID IN (Facility.CustomerID, Facility.ID)View view_Rate--------------------SELECT_Rate.*FROM_RateINNER JOIN(SELECTTargetID,MAX(OwnerLevel) AS OwnerLevelFROM_RateGROUP BYTargetID) AS Filtered_RateON_Rate.TargetID = Filtered_Rate.TargetIDAND _Rate.OwnerLevel = Filtered_Rate.OwnerLevelThe combination of these two views gives a resultset that contains 1record for every Target ID as follows:TargetID <NULL>OwnerID <NULL>OwnerLevel 1This indicates Global rate data established at the Global level.TargetID <Customer.ID>OwnerID <NULL>OwnerLevel 1This indicates Customer rate data for the specific Customer identifiedby Customer.ID is inherited from the Global rate data.TargetID <Customer.ID>OwnerID <Customer.ID>OwnerLevel 2This indicates Customer-specific rate data for the specific Customeridentified by Customer.ID (not inherited).TargetID <Facility.ID>OwnerID <NULL>OwnerLevel 3This indicates Facility rate data is inherited from the Global ratedata.TargetID <Facility.ID>OwnerID <Customer.ID>OwnerLevel 2This indicates Facility rate data for the specific Facility identifiedby Facility.ID is inherited from the Facility's parent Customer'sCustomer-specific rate data.TargetID <Facility.ID>OwnerID <Facility.ID>OwnerLevel 3This indicates Facility-specific rate data for the specific Facilityidentified by Facility.ID (not inherited).I know this is a lengthy post, and a complicted query scenario, butI'm not willing to accept that my solution is the best solution justyet. Please consider that I really need this functionality in a VIEWas much as possible.Thank you for your learned consideration.I eagerly await your replies.Darryll
Hi everybody, I've been reading the book MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-441): Designing Database Solutions by Using Microsoft SQL Server(TM) 2005 (Self-Paced Training Kits) as a part of my preparation for exam 70-441 The book is really clear, and I could understand everything easily because I've some experience as a database developer. Until now, there's only one thing that I didn't fully understand: On pages 53 and 54, it mentions a type of hierarchy called: a graph hierarchy, and it gives a small example made the things even more complicated I've many books about database design theories, but they don't use the term (graph hierarchy) any where... So, I appreciate if you can point me to an online resource or a book that discusses this term thorougly.
Last time I worked with SSAS and build a Cube. Because I€™m now very happy with the front-end excel 2003 or excel 2007 I thought I build my own Report with SSRS. Now there is something I don€™t understand: I build a Hierarchy in SSAS that a want to use in SSRS. Is there a chance to use it without any features? Have I to use parameters or something another? In my opinion it makes any sense to build a hierarchy new, because it€™s already exists in SSAS.
I'm facing a complicated problem and I don't think that the solution will be an easy one.
I have an SQL statement in Oracle which I need to translate it in Sql Server 2005.
select lpad(' ',5*(orderid)) || to_char(descr) as menui from <table _name> where MENU_ITEM not in ('test1','test2','test3') and item_parent not in ('test4,'test5,'test6') start with <item_parent='item_parent' > connect by prior <menu_item = item_parent and menu_name='something'; > ?(condition)
Somewhere I have read that SQL server does not support Hierarchical Sql statements. Is this true ? How am I going to do that ?
And I specify that I want all child items below the Id 2, it must return: Id | Title | Url | ParentId | Depth 2 | Sub-Test | http://localhost/subtest | 1 | 0

For a short time I have considered how to get the hierarchy in a self-linked table, incidentally I have found an article about ‘Recursive CTEs’ in ‘SQL Server Books Online’, where an example is very impressive and arouses me to find a way to get the ancestors or descendants of a given node in a self-linked (self-referenced) table.
And now I want to share this method to anyone who has the same problem to resolve or someone like me who has addiction in SQL.
First of all we have to create a table for the following functions and build some test data. The statemens look like:
insert into ST_CATEGORY(CATEGORYID, PARENTID, [NAME], COMMENT) values(NEWID(), @rootoid, 'Business Application', 'group for all business applications')
declare @techoid uniqueidentifier set @techoid = NEWID()
insert into ST_CATEGORY(CATEGORYID, PARENTID, [NAME], COMMENT) values(NEWID(), @techoid, 'C#', 'C# tips') go
Now that the test table and data are prepared, we can get ancestors or descendants through the following four stored procedures of a given category.
CREATE PROCEDURE spGetAncestor @categoryID uniqueidentifier AS BEGIN -- find parents/ancestor WITH Ancestor( CATEGORYID ) AS ( SELECT PARENTID FROM ST_CATEGORY WHERE CATEGORYID = @categoryID UNION ALL SELECT PARENTID FROM Ancestor, ST_CATEGORY WHERE Ancestor.CATEGORYID = ST_CATEGORY.CATEGORYID ) SELECT * FROM Ancestor END GO
CREATE PROCEDURE spGetSelfAndAncestor @categoryID uniqueidentifier AS BEGIN -- find self and parents/ancestor WITH SelfAndAncestor( CATEGORYID ) AS ( SELECT CATEGORYID FROM ST_CATEGORY WHERE CATEGORYID = @categoryID UNION ALL SELECT PARENTID FROM SelfAndAncestor, ST_CATEGORY WHERE SelfAndAncestor.CATEGORYID = ST_CATEGORY.CATEGORYID ) SELECT * FROM SelfAndAncestor END GO
CREATE PROCEDURE spGetDescendant @categoryID uniqueidentifier AS BEGIN -- find children/descendant WITH Descendant( CATEGORYID ) AS ( SELECT CATEGORYID FROM ST_CATEGORY WHERE PARENTID = @categoryID UNION ALL SELECT ST_CATEGORY.CATEGORYID FROM Descendant, ST_CATEGORY WHERE Descendant.CATEGORYID = ST_CATEGORY.PARENTID ) SELECT * FROM Descendant END GO
CREATE PROCEDURE spGetSelfAndDescendant @categoryID uniqueidentifier AS BEGIN -- find self and children/descendant WITH SelfAndDescendant( CATEGORYID ) AS ( SELECT CATEGORYID FROM ST_CATEGORY WHERE CATEGORYID = @categoryID UNION ALL SELECT ST_CATEGORY.CATEGORYID FROM SelfAndDescendant, ST_CATEGORY WHERE SelfAndDescendant.CATEGORYID = ST_CATEGORY.PARENTID ) SELECT * FROM SelfAndDescendant END GO
