什么是最简单或最简单的方法将这个heirarchical表格变成一张平坦的表格？

Question

我有以下分层表：

Table Category: 
CategoryId, ParentCategoryId, CategoryName 
1, null, SomeRoot 
2, 1, SomeChild 
3, 2, SomeGrandchild 
4, 3, SomeGreatGrandchild 

（注意，这样的数据不包括除第4级的较早节点上的叶，但这是可能的）。如果相关的话，数据永远不会比第4级更深。我想变换/它旋转到这个固定的4级显示

CatId, Name1, Name2, Name3, Name4 
1, SomeRoot, null, null, null 
2, SomeRoot, SomeChild, null, null 
3, SomeRoot, SomeChild, SomeGrandchild, null 
4, SomeRoot, SomeChild, SomeGrandchild, SomeGreatGrandchild 

我已经做了左外连接的类别表4倍，并建立了一个巨大的case语句用于检测水平，使用的ID字段，但不包括空行....任何想法？帮帮我！

Answer 1

试试这个：

Select C.CatId, C.Name, PC.Name, GP.Name, GGP.Name 
    From Category C 
    Left Join Category PC On PC.CatId = C.ParentCategoryId 
    Left Join Category GP On GP .CatId = PC.ParentCategoryId 
    Left Join Category GGP On GGP .CatId = GP.ParentCategoryId 

基于岁评论，如果你写一个UDF如下：

Create Function CatParentNames 
(@CatId Integer) 
Returns varchar(1000) 
AS 
Begin 
    Declare @outVal VarChar(1000) 
    Declare @ParId Integer 
    Select @ParId = ParentCategoryId, @outVal = Name 
    From Category 
    Where CatId = @CatId 
    While Exists(Select * From Category 
        Where CatId = @ParId) 
     Begin 
      Select @ParId = ParentCategoryId, 
       @outVal = Name + ', ' + @outVal 
      From Category 
      Where CatId = @ParId 
     End 

Return @outVal 

End 

然后，写你的SQL如下：

Select CatId, dbo.CatParentNames(CatId) 
From Category 
Where ParentCategoryId Is Not Null

尝试这个：

select a.CategoryId as CatId, 
a.CategoryName as Name1, 
cast(null as varchar(20)) as Name2, 
cast(null as varchar(20)) as Name3, 
cast(null as varchar(20)) as Name4 
from @YourTable a 
where a.ParentCategoryId is null 

union all 

select b.CategoryId, 
a.CategoryName, 
b.CategoryName, 
null, 
null 
from @YourTable a 
inner join @YourTable b 
on a.CategoryId = b.ParentCategoryId 
where a.ParentCategoryId is null 


union all 

select c.CategoryId, 
a.CategoryName, 
b.CategoryName, 
c.CategoryName, 
null 
from @YourTable a 
inner join @YourTable b 
on a.CategoryId = b.ParentCategoryId 
inner join @YourTable c 
on b.CategoryId = c.ParentCategoryId 
where a.ParentCategoryId is null 

union all 

select d.CategoryId, 
a.CategoryName, 
b.CategoryName, 
c.CategoryName, 
d.CategoryName 
from @YourTable a 
inner join @YourTable b 
on a.CategoryId = b.ParentCategoryId 
inner join @YourTable c 
on b.CategoryId = c.ParentCategoryId 
inner join @YourTable d 
on c.CategoryId = d.ParentCategoryId 
order by 2, 3, 4, 5 

但是，这不是构建它，如果你打算用多列的TreeView，看起来像这样的使用方式：

这可能是不是最有效的查询，但它是最简单的代码：

declare @YourTable table (CategoryId int primary key, ParentCategoryId int , CategoryName varchar(50)) 

INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (1, null, 'SomeRoot') 
INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (2, 1, 'SomeChild') 
INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (3, 2, 'SomeGrandchild') 
INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (4, 3, 'SomeGreatGrandchild') 

INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (10, null, 'X_SomeRoot') 
INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (20, 10, 'X_SomeChild') 
INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (30, 20, 'X_SomeGrandchild') 


Select 
    c1.CategoryId, c1.CategoryName, c2.CategoryName, c3.CategoryName, c4.CategoryName 
    From @YourTable   c1 
     INNER JOIN @YourTable c2 On c1.CategoryId = c2.ParentCategoryId 
     INNER JOIN @YourTable c3 On c2.CategoryId = c3.ParentCategoryId 
     INNER JOIN @YourTable c4 On c3.CategoryId = c4.ParentCategoryId 
    WHERE c1.ParentCategoryId IS NULL 
UNION 
Select 
    c1.CategoryId, c1.CategoryName, c2.CategoryName, c3.CategoryName, NULL 
    From @YourTable   c1 
     INNER JOIN @YourTable c2 On c1.CategoryId = c2.ParentCategoryId 
     INNER JOIN @YourTable c3 On c2.CategoryId = c3.ParentCategoryId 
    WHERE c1.ParentCategoryId IS NULL 
UNION 
Select 
    c1.CategoryId, c1.CategoryName, c2.CategoryName, NULL, NULL 
    From @YourTable   c1 
     INNER JOIN @YourTable c2 On c1.CategoryId = c2.ParentCategoryId 
    WHERE c1.ParentCategoryId IS NULL 
UNION 
Select 
    c1.CategoryId, c1.CategoryName, NULL, NULL, NULL 
    From @YourTable   c1 
    WHERE c1.ParentCategoryId IS NULL 
ORDER BY 2,3,4,5 

OUTPUT：

SortB CategoryId CategoryName CategoryName CategoryName  CategoryName 
----- ----------- ------------ ------------- ----------------- -------------------- 
1  1   SomeRoot  NULL   NULL    NULL 
2  1   SomeRoot  SomeChild  NULL    NULL 
3  1   SomeRoot  SomeChild  SomeGrandchild NULL 
4  1   SomeRoot  SomeChild  SomeGrandchild SomeGreatGrandchild 
1  10   X_SomeRoot NULL   NULL    NULL 
2  10   X_SomeRoot X_SomeChild NULL    NULL 
3  10   X_SomeRoot X_SomeChild X_SomeGrandchild NULL
