Help me. I want a result to parent->child
WITH RECURSIVE subordinates AS (SELECT id,title, parent,level
FROM mst.locations UNION SELECT l.id,l.title,l.parent,l.level
FROM mst.locations l INNER JOIN subordinates son s.id = l.parent) SELECT *
FROM subordinates;
How I can take a child per parent?

Im trying to join multiple tables and add in a Subquery. There maybe an easier way if so please let me know.
SELECT DISTINCT(first_name), last_name, title, description, release_year,rating
FROM film_actor
INNER JOIN actor
ON film_actor.actor_id = actor.actor_id
INNER JOIN film
ON film_actor.film_id = film.film_id;
WHERE rental_rate > (SELECT AVG(rental_rate) FROM film)
I am creating SQL query that involves multiple tables with 1 to N relation to support pagination.
To get the first 10 parents, I tried to do
SELECT * from parent p
LEFT JOIN child c
ON c.parent_id = p.id
LIMIT 10
This does not work if any parent has more than one children
One alternative I can do is
SELECT * from parent LIMIT 10 into temp_p;
SELECT * from temp_p p
LEFT JOIN child c
ON c.parent_id = p.id
This is pretty clumsy. What I would like to do is
SELECT * from parent p LIMIT 10
LEFT JOIN child c
ON c.parent_id = p.id
but of course the syntax is wrong. I am wondering if Postgresql have some way to support what I want to do.
Use a common table expression:
WITH ten_parents AS (
SELECT * from parent LIMIT 10)
SELECT *
FROM ten_parents p
LEFT JOIN child c
ON c.parent_id = p.id
How would I redesign the below query so that it will recursively loop through entire tree to return all descendants from root to leaves? (I'm using SSMS 2008). We have a President at the root. under him are the VPs, then upper management, etc., on down the line. I need to return the names and titles of each. But this query shouldn't be hard-coded; I need to be able to run this for any selected employee, not just the president. This query below is the hard-coded approach.
select P.staff_name [Level1],
P.job_title [Level1 Title],
Q.license_number [License 1],
E.staff_name [Level2],
E.job_title [Level2 Title],
G.staff_name [Level3],
G.job_title [Level3 Title]
from staff_view A
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view P on P.people_id = A.people_id
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view E on E.people_id = C.people_id
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view G on G.people_id = F.people_id
left join facility_view Q on Q.group_profile_id = P.group_profile_id
Thank you, this was most closely matching what I needed. Here is my CTE query below:
with Employee_Hierarchy (staff_name, job_title, id_number, billing_staff_credentials_code, site_name, group_profile_id, license_number, region_description, people_id)
as
(
select C.staff_name, C.job_title, C.id_number, C.billing_staff_credentials_code, C.site_name, C.group_profile_id, Q.license_number, R.region_description, A.people_id
from staff_view A
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view C on C.people_id = A.people_id
left join facility_view Q on Q.group_profile_id = C.group_profile_id
left join regions R on R.regions_id = Q.regions_id
where A.last_name = 'kromer'
)
select C.staff_name, C.job_title, C.id_number, C.billing_staff_credentials_code, C.site_name, C.group_profile_id, Q.license_number, R.region_description, A.people_id
from staff_view A
left join staff_site_link_expanded_view C on C.people_id = A.people_id
left join facility_view Q on Q.group_profile_id = C.group_profile_id
left join regions R on R.regions_id = Q.regions_id
WHERE C.STAFF_NAME IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY C.STAFF_NAME, C.job_title, C.id_number, C.billing_staff_credentials_code, C.site_name, C.group_profile_id, Q.license_number, R.region_description, A.people_id
ORDER BY C.STAFF_NAME
But I am wondering what is the purpose of the "Employee_Hierarchy"? When I replaced "staff_view" in the outer query with "Employee_Hierarchy", it only returned one record = "Kromer". So when/where can we use "Employee_Hierarchy"?
See:
SQL Server - Simple example of a recursive CTE
MSDN: Recursive Queries using Common Table Expression
SQL Server recursive CTE (this seems pretty much like exactly what you are working on!)
Update:
A proper recursive CTE consist of basically three things:
an anchor SELECT to begin with; that can select e.g. the root level employees (where the Reports_To is NULL), or it can select any arbitrary employee that you define, e.g. by a parameter
a UNION ALL
a recursive SELECT statement that selects from the same, typically self-referencing table and joins with the recursive CTE being currently built up
This gives you the ability to recursively build up a result set that you can then select from.
If you look at the Northwind sample database, it has a table called Employees which is self-referencing: Employees.ReportsTo --> Employees.EmployeeID defines who reports to whom.
Your CTE would look something like this:
;WITH RecursiveCTE AS
(
-- anchor query; get the CEO
SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Title, 1 AS 'Level', ReportsTo
FROM dbo.Employees
WHERE ReportsTo IS NULL
UNION ALL
-- recursive part; select next Employees that have ReportsTo -> cte.EmployeeID
SELECT
e.EmployeeID, e.FirstName, e.LastName, e.Title,
cte.Level + 1 AS 'Level', e.ReportsTo
FROM
dbo.Employees e
INNER JOIN
RecursiveCTE cte ON e.ReportsTo = cte.EmployeeID
)
SELECT *
FROM RecursiveCTE
ORDER BY Level, LastName
I don't know if you can translate your sample to a proper recursive CTE - but that's basically the gist of it: anchor query, UNION ALL, recursive query
Is it possible to join a nested select statement with itself (without writing it out twice and running it twice)
Something like this would be ideal
SELECT P.Child, P.Parent, Q.Parent AS GrandParent
FROM (SELECT Child, Parent FROM something-complex) AS P
LEFT JOIN P AS Q ON Q.Child = P.Parent
50% possible. You can use a CTE to avoid writing it twice but it will still execute twice.
;WITH p
AS (SELECT child,
parent
FROM something-complex)
SELECT p.child,
p.parent,
q.parent AS grandparent
FROM p
LEFT JOIN p AS q
ON q.child = p.parent
If the query is expensive you would need to materialize it into a table variable or #temp table to avoid the self join causing two invocations of the underlying query.
You could use a common table expression:
WITH P AS (SELECT Child, Parent FROM something-complex)
SELECT P.Child, P.Parent, Q.Parent as GrandParent
LEFT JOIN P AS Q ON Q.Child = P.Parent
I have a tree structure table with columns:
id,parent,name.
Given a tree A->B->C,
how could i get the most top parent A's ID according to C's ID?
Especially how to write SQL with "with recursive"?
Thanks!
WITH RECURSIVE q AS
(
SELECT m
FROM mytable m
WHERE id = 'C'
UNION ALL
SELECT m
FROM q
JOIN mytable m
ON m.id = q.parent
)
SELECT (m).*
FROM q
WHERE (m).parent IS NULL
To implement recursive queries, you need a Common Table Expression (CTE).
This query computes ancestors of all parent nodes. Since we want just the top level, we select where level=0.
WITH RECURSIVE Ancestors AS
(
SELECT id, parent, 0 AS level FROM YourTable WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT child.id, child.parent, level+1 FROM YourTable child INNER JOIN
Ancestors p ON p.id=child.parent
)
SELECT * FROM Ancestors WHERE a.level=0 AND a.id=C
If you want to fetch all your data, then use an inner join on the id, e.g.
SELECT YourTable.* FROM Ancestors a WHERE a.level=0 AND a.id=C
INNER JOIN YourTable ON YourTable.id = a.id
Assuming a table named "organization" with properties id, name, and parent_organization_id, here is what worked for me to get a list that included top level and parent level org ID's for each level.
WITH RECURSIVE orgs AS (
SELECT
o.id as top_org_id
,null::bigint as parent_org_id
,o.id as org_id
,o.name
,0 AS relative_depth
FROM organization o
UNION
SELECT
allorgs.top_org_id
,childorg.parent_organization_id
,childorg.id
,childorg.name
,allorgs.relative_depth + 1
FROM organization childorg
INNER JOIN orgs allorgs ON allorgs.org_id = childorg.parent_organization_id
) SELECT
*
FROM
orgs order by 1,5;
