what does that mean ? anyway, if I remember correctly, one can transform a recursive function to a iterative function; is that what you mean ?

firstly i am talking in sql and not in any other technology... see here is the exact question...write a procedure in which you need to display all direct reports of you..if you do not have a direct report then go for your manager and list his direct reports...write this proc without recursion and without using cursors in the procedure....

I am so glad I don't do this boring stuff anymore.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

What you're looking for is "Common Table Expressions" -- a query type introduced in SQL Server 2005.

Sure. You just need a big enough hammer, and *splat* everything breaks up into nice small chuncks. Marc

I dont know "Common Table Expression". But my intension is to write such a most wanted procedure using only loops and developer friendly with no complexities :-D ....

"I dont know "Common Table Expression"." It was tacitly implied that you should Google it and learn more about it. "But my intension is to write such a most wanted procedure using only loops" SQL + loops = terrible idea.

Thats a great approach. Peer review is great way to improve your skills.

Same for me. Nothing annoyed me more that working with SQL.

It's CPs closest description to what I do. I own and run 3 businesses, and do all I can to avoid extra work. :laugh:

I think the subtlness of that was lost !!! - I was thinking of replying with the saying 'to first understand recursion you must understand recursion' and hit your link, which illustrates it nicely - snicker :-) 'g'
