Creating Hierarchy Of Parent Organizations

Aug 7, 2014

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)...

Hierarchy – Parent And Child

Aug 2, 2007

I am designing a table to represent data in hierarchy structure, I use id and parent id to represent the data in hierarchy form:

Id | parent_id
---+-----------
1 | 0
2 | 0
3 | 0
4 | 1
5 | 1
6 | 4
7 | 4
8 | 7
9 | 7


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.

Id | parent_id | root_id
---+-----------+---------
1 | 0 |
2 | 0 |
3 | 0 |
4 | 1 | 1
5 | 1 | 1
6 | 4 | 1
7 | 4 | 1
8 | 7 | 1
9 | 7 | 1
10 | 2 | 2
11 | 2 | 2
12 | 10 | 2
13 | 10 | 2

Parent-Child Hierarchy But Reversed(!)

Feb 21, 2007

Hi!

I have a report that uses a parent-child hierarchy in a table. It is hidden with the toggle set to itself, and that works perfectly.

However, instead of having it look like this(simple example):

+ Profit

After the + has been clicked:

-Profit
+Sales
+Cost

I would like it to look like this:

+Sales
+Cost
-Profit

Is this possible with when using a parent-child hierarchy?

How To Drill Down A Parent Child Hierarchy In Reporting Services 2005 ?

Sep 26, 2007



Hello,

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.


I hope somebody can help me

Code For Creating A Hierarchy

Jul 20, 2014

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.

Get All Children Of A Parent If Present Or Parent Itself?

Nov 21, 2012

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.

Transact SQL :: Parent / Child Tables - Pivot Child Data To Parent Row

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.  So, the outcome I'm hoping for based on the data below for ParentId = 1 would be:

declare @parent table (Id int not null primary key, StartDate date, EndDate date)
declare @child table (Id int not null primary key, ParentId int not null, ChildTypeId char(2) not null, StartDate date, EndDate date)
insert @parent select 1, '1/1/2015', '12/31/2015'

HIERARCHY HELP! PLEASE?

Feb 26, 2008

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.

Thanks in advance for your time

Hi to All!

Is there a perfect method to implement a hierarchy structure with different types as a table in Sql server 2005? Currently I am thinking of this way:

[Node | ParentId | ParentType | ChildId | ChildType]

But there is this nagging little voice saying it can be better

Ordering Within Hierarchy

Aug 7, 2007

Hi all,

Ive got a bit of a problem,

I have two tables:

CATEGORY
id
name
parent_CATEGORY_id

RECORD
id
CATEGORY_id
Stock_Held_Number

ps. Ive stripped out any non relevant fields


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

Name TotalStock
Animals 30
---Dogs 60
---Horses 50
Pens 20
Rocks 40

Does anybody have any pointers as to how I can achieve this.

Many thanks

Mike

Sparse Hierarchy T-SQL Help...PLEASE?

Jul 20, 2005

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

Graph Hierarchy: What Is It Exactly?!!

Dec 21, 2007

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.

Thank you

Use Hierarchy From SSAS

Sep 6, 2007

Hello experts,

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.

Have a nice day

Hierarchy In Sql Server

Dec 5, 2007

Hello ,

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 ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

4 | ChildOfSub-Test | http://localhost/subtest/child | 2


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

4 | ChildOfSub-Test | http://localhost/subtest/child | 2 | 1

How can I do this? I've saw some examples with CTEs, but they always return all of the items.

Dynamic Hierarchy

Nov 23, 2007

Hi people
In have a query over two tables, and the ouptut is:
RowID | SubMarcaID | MarcaID | ProductoID
1 | 1 | 1 | 1
2 | 1 | 1 | 2
3 | 1 | 1 | NULL
4 | 3 | 1 | 3
5 | 3 | 1 | NULL

(SubMarcaID and MarcaID are the KEYS from SUBMARCA, and ProductoID is the key from PRODUCTO. Also SubMarcaID and MarcaID are foreing keys on PRODUCTO)

Now, I need a ParentRowID based on SubMarcaID and MarcaID, like a hierarchy

RowID | SubMarcaID | MarcaID | ProductoID | ParentRowID
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3
2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3
3 | 1 | 1 | NULL | 0
4 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 5
5 | 3 | 1 | NULL | 0
How can I do this?



Code Block

SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY PRODUCTO.MarcaID, PRODUCTO.SubMarcaID) AS RowID,

PRODUCTO.SubMarcaID,

PRODUCTO.MarcaID,

PRODUCTO.ProductoID

FROM PRODUCTO, SGP_SUBMARCA

WHERE PRODUCTO.SubMarcaID = SUBMARCA.SubMarcaID

AND PRODUCTO.MarcaID = SUBMARCA.MarcaID

GROUP
BY PRODUCTO.SubMarcaID,

PRODUCTO.MarcaID,

PRODUCTO.ProductoID

WITH
ROLLUP

HAVING (



GROUPING(PRODUCTO.ProductoID) = 1

AND GROUPING(PRODUCTO.SubMarcaID) = 0

AND GROUPING(PRODUCTO.MarcaID) = 0

)

OR (

GROUPING(PRODUCTO.SubMarcaID) = 0

AND GROUPING(PRODUCTO.MarcaID) = 0

AND GROUPING(PRODUCTO.ProductoID) = 0

)

Get Ancestor And Descendant In A Hierarchy

Sep 17, 2007

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:

create table ST_CATEGORY(
CATEGORYID uniqueidentifier not null default NEWID(),
PARENTID uniqueidentifier,
[NAME] varchar(128),
COMMENT varchar(4096),
CONSTRAINT PK_ST_CATEGORY primary key (CATEGORYID)
)
go

insert into ST_CATEGORY(CATEGORYID, PARENTID, [NAME], COMMENT)
values(@rootoid, NULL, 'ROOT', 'ROOT NODE')

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(@techoid, @rootoid, 'Tech101', 'technical tips')

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
