Dear All.

I'm very new to ASA. I would like to develop an application for my company, it's production company so it requires to have BOM. Let's say I have a table which recursive relationship as follow.

bom_master

  • item_id
  • qty
  • parent_item_id

Just like usual table structure found on the internet, for the parent item, it's parent_item_id contains null. My question is that how to query one single parent item with all it's child (no matter how many level will be) at once? Do I need a stored procedure or this can be done using plain SQL statement? Please give me some samples or hits.

Thanks Kongthap

Hah, hah... there is an example in my last, um, only book. This question is making me think I'll self-plagiarize republish it in my blog :)

FWIW: The cited solution requires recursive common table expressions (CTEs) and as such, requires v9 and above - so for older versions, I guess a stored procedure will be necessary.

Breck has republished the according part of his book in his blog (and I feel free to publish the link:))

Example: RECURSIVE UNION

Following the question: How fast is "RECURSIVE UNION"? Each level is permanent 'select' and in case of distributed databases with multiple tables ? Any Evaluation Tests...?!

As this certainly is a differen question, I'd recommend to ask it as a separate question - and you can of course link to this current FAQ there...
