    In the above table id=76,77,88 are parents records.For these parent records parent_id is null

    Remaining ids are child ids.

    for example id= 22 is child of id= 76.

    Now i want to display the records in parent child order.

    for example

    idname parent_id

  • use recursive CTE (Common Table Expressions) concept to build the query.

  • ;with cteSampleData

    as

    (

    select id,name,parentid

    from sampledata

    where parentid is null

    union all

    select id, name parentid

    from sampledata s2

    inner join ctesampledata s1 on s1.id = s2.parentid

    )

    select id, name, parentid

    from ctesampledata

    option (maxrecursion 0)

    order by parentid

  • ;with cteSampleData

    as

    (

    select id,name,parent_id

    from f_groups

    where parent_id is null and c_id=83

    union all

    select s2.id,s2.name,s2.parent_id

    from f_groups s2

    inner join cteSampleData s1 on s1.id = s2.parent_id and c_id=83

    )

    select ts.id,ts.name,ts.parent_id

    from cteSampleData ts order by parent_id

    option (maxrecursion 0)

    I executed the above query.it is working fine. But It showing all the parents first and then childrens like below.

    id name Parent_id

    76Target Sustainable Product StandardNULL

    77Ingredients & Transparency NULL

    3456test subGroup 3455

    Is there any way to show parent and thens it corresponding childrens. like below

  • If the hierarchy is large, consider the use of Nested Sets while still maintaining the Adjacency List. See the following articles for how to do such a thing in an unconventional fashion using a Tally Table to do the conversion of a million row hierarchy in about 54 seconds or faster.

    If you have certain types of calculations that need to be done, you can also benefit from the same method to do them ALL at once, creating a kind of hierarchical datamart with most of the answers available as simple index-able lookups.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
