What you've supplied here doesn't contain a supervisor name. Please read this article[/url] on how to post questions that are easier to answer 🙂

Hi,

I want to match supervisor id with employee id itself

A LEFT OUTER JOIN with the same table again will give you the desired result

SELECTEmp.Emp_Name, Sup.Emp_Name Sup_Name

FROMEmployee Emp

LEFT OUTER JOINEmployee Sup ONEmp.Supervisor_ID = Sup.Emp_ID

Looking at the data in the question, Inner join will also work.

Another way of doing this

CREATE TABLE Emp (Emp_id INT, Emp_name VARCHAR(50), Supervisor_id INT)

GO

Insert Emp

SELECT 1, 'A', -1 UNION

SELECT 2, 'B', 1 UNION

SELECT 3, 'C', 1 UNION

SELECT 4, 'D', 2

GO

WITH Emp_CTE AS (

SELECT Emp_ID, Emp_Name, CAST('NONE' AS VARCHAR(50)) as SupervisorName

FROM Emp

WHERE Supervisor_id=-1

UNION ALL

SELECT e.Emp_ID, e.Emp_Name, CAST(CTE.Emp_Name AS VARCHAR(50)) as SupervisorName

FROM Emp E

INNER JOIN Emp_CTE CTE ON CTE.Emp_ID = E.Supervisor_id

)

SELECT *

FROM Emp_CTE

GO

DROP TABLE Emp

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE

(

EMP_ID INT PRIMARY KEY,

EMP_NAME VARCHAR(20),

MGR_ID INT

)

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES(1,'A',-1)

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES(2,'B',1)

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES(3,'C',1)

INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES(4,'D',2)

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE

SELECT E.EMP_NAME EmployeeName,M.EMP_NAME SupervisorName

FROM EMPLOYEE E,EMPLOYEE M

WHERE E.MGR_ID=M.EMP_ID

I hope u got the answer..
