遞歸查詢對于同一個表父子關系的計算提供了很大的方便，這個示例使用了SQL server 2005中的遞歸查詢,使用的表是CarParts，這個表存儲了一輛汽車的所有零件以及結構，part為零件單位，subpart為子零件，Qty為數(shù)量。

具體示例如下：

*/

CREATE TABLE CarParts

(

CarID INT NOT NULL,

Part VARCHAR(15),

SubPart VARCHAR(15),

Qty INT

)

GO

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Body', 'Door', 4)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Body', 'Trunk Lid', 1)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Body', 'Car Hood', 1)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Door', 'Handle', 1)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Door', 'Lock', 1)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Door', 'Window', 1)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Body', 'Rivets', 1000)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Door', 'Rivets', 100)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Door', 'Mirror', 1)

INSERT CarParts VALUES (1, 'Mirror', 'small_Mirror', 4)

GO

SELECT * FROM CarParts

GO

/*

一輛汽車需要各個零件的數(shù)目

1個Body 需要4個Door

1個Door 需要1個Mirror

那么

1個body需要4個Mirror

結構很簡單吧

*/

WITH CarPartsCTE(SubPart, Qty)

AS

(

-- 固定成員 (AM):

-- SELECT查詢無需參考CarPartsCTE

-- 遞歸從此處開始

SELECT SubPart, Qty

FROM CarParts

WHERE Part = 'Body'

UNION ALL

-- 遞歸成員 (RM):

-- SELECT查詢參考CarPartsCTE

-- 使用現(xiàn)有數(shù)據往下一層展開

SELECT CarParts.SubPart, CarPartsCTE.Qty * CarParts.Qty

FROM CarPartsCTE

INNER JOIN CarParts ON CarPartsCTE.SubPart = CarParts.Part

WHERE CarParts.CarID = 1

)

SELECT SubPart,Qty AS TotalNUM

FROM CarPartsCTE

/*

注意看最下層的small_Mirror 位于 表最后的位置，

由此可以看出改遞歸不是開始就進行遞歸查詢而是在1層完全展開后在根據該層展開下一層不是深度優(yōu)先的遞歸

*/

示例：

以下示例顯示經理以及向經理報告的雇員的層次列表。

WITH DirectReports(groupid, member, EmployeeLevel,type) AS

(

SELECT groupid, member, 0,type AS EmployeeLevel

FROM groupinfo

WHERE groupid = 'finance_company'

UNION ALL

SELECT e.groupid, e.member, EmployeeLevel + 1,e.type

FROM groupinfo e

INNER JOIN DirectReports d

ON e.groupid = d.member

)

SELECT b.nickname,groupid, member, EmployeeLevel,type

FROM DirectReports,userbasicinfo b

where DirectReports.member=b.id

and type = 1
