Suppose I have the following hierarchical table:
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| ID | ParentID | Name | Path | InheritanceFlag | ToEdit |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76938 | NULL | 1 | (76938) | 1 | X |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76942 | 76938 | 1.1 | (76938)\(76942) | 1 | 1 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76952 | 76942 | 1.1.1 | (76938)\(76942)\(76952) | 0 | 0 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76961 | 76942 | 1.1.2 | (76938)\(76942)\(76961) | 1 | 1 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76943 | 76938 | 1.2 | (76938)\(76943) | 1 | 1 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76944 | 76938 | 1.3 | (76938)\(76944) | 0 | 0 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76946 | 76944 | 1.3.1 | (76938)\(76944)\(76946) | 1 | 0 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76947 | 76944 | 1.3.2 | (76938)\(76944)\(76947) | 0 | 0 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76948 | 76944 | 1.3.3 | (76938)\(76944)\(76948) | 1 | 0 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76945 | 76938 | 1.4 | (76938)\(76945) | 1 | 1 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
My input is a table of IDs (it's a JSON string that I converted) and I want to select those IDs and their descendance (children and children's children, etc). For example, if the IDs are 76942
and 76946
, it should return me the rows the following rows:
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| ID | ParentID | Name | Path | InheritanceFlag | ToEdit |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76942 | 76938 | 1.1 | (76938)\(76942) | 1 | 1 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76952 | 76942 | 1.1.1 | (76938)\(76942)\(76952) | 0 | 0 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76961 | 76942 | 1.1.2 | (76938)\(76942)\(76961) | 1 | 1 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
| 76946 | 76944 | 1.3.1 | (76938)\(76944)\(76946) | 1 | 0 |
+-------+----------+-------+-------------------------+-----------------+--------+
How can I manage to create this query ? I used to do it with a simple LIKE
with the Path
, but since it's now a list, I can't use it.
SELECT
[pkID]
FROM
[dbo].[t_Activites]
WHERE
[sFullPath] LIKE CONCAT('%(', @id, ')%')
For those interested in the CROSS APPLY solution, here it is. I ran the Execution Plan and it is more efficient.
SELECT A.pkID
FROM t_Activites A
CROSS APPLY @Ids
JOIN t_Activites A1
ON A1.pkID = s.id
WHERE A.sFullPath LIKE CONCAT('%(', A1.pkID, ')%')
If you have a table variable, say
@ids(id)
, you can useexists
