How do I create a recursive query in MSSQL 2005?

Question

Let\'s say I have the following table:

CustomerID ParentID Name
========== ======== ====
1          null     John
2          1        James
3          2        J         


        

Answer 1

Unless I'm missing something, recursion isn't necessary...

SELECT d.NAME FROM Customers As d
INNER JOIN Customers As p ON p.CustomerID = d.ParentID
WHERE p.Name = 'James'
