not sure if this is what you are after;

Peso is one of the forum members with a strong grasp on this;

there is a thread about Dijkstra's Shortest Path Algorithm, which is the kind of thing you use to calculate the shortest routes between two points, but the implementations i've seen require a distance between 'a' and 'd', for example.

is that what you are after?

hi

I have used pivot method

declare @table table (rowid int,value1 varchar(2),value2 varchar(2))

declare @table1 table (value varchar(220))

insert into @table

Select 1,'A','B'

union Select 2,'C','D'

union Select 3,'E','F'

union Select 4,'G','H'

declare @i int

set @i=3 /*From A-F*/

SELECT rowid, value12, value

--SELECT value

FROM

(SELECT rowid, value1, value2

FROM @table where rowid<=@i) p

UNPIVOT

(value FOR value12 IN

(value1, value2)

)AS unpvt;

GO

Remove the commented select line and see you will get some idea.

Thanks

Parthi

Ummmm.... since non of the two point paths have anything in common, how do you propose resolving the F-->A path?

declare @first_Letter varchar(2)= 'A'

declare @last_Letter varchar(2)= 'F'

insert into @table

Select 1,'A','B'

union Select 2,'C','D'

union Select 3,'E','F'

union Select 4,'G','H'

;with t2 as(

select

new_rowid=2*(rowid - 1) + i,

from @table

cross join (select i=1 union all select 2)i

select value from t2

where

( Value between @first_Letter and @last_Letter )

OR

( Value between @last_Letter and @first_Letter )

order by new_rowid * ( case when @first_Letter <= @last_Letter then 1 else -1 end )
