Hi ,I have one doubt in sql server .
how to get required output based on below table data.
table: parent
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[parent](
    [parentsupplierid] [int] NULL,
    [supplierid] [int] NULL,
    [suppliername] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (123, 321, N'AAA')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (123, 231, N'BBB')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (NULL, 123, N'ABC')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (456, 654, N'DDD')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (NULL, 546, N'EEE')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (NULL, 456, N'DEF')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (789, 987, N'GGG')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (NULL, 879, N'HHH')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[parent] ([parentsupplierid], [supplierid], [suppliername]) VALUES (NULL, 789, N'GHI')
based on above data I want output like below:
parentsupplierid    |supplierid     |suppliername    |PARENTsuppliername
123          | 231        |BBB          | ABC
123          | 321        |AAA          | ABC
456          | 654        |DDD          | DEF
456          | 546        |EEE          | DEF
789          | 987        |GGG          | GHI
789          | 879        |HHH          | GHI
i tried like below:
SELECT
DISTINCT ISNULL( a.[parentsupplierid],b.[supplierid]) [parentsupplierid]
--A.[parentsupplierid]
  ,A.[supplierid]
  ,A.[suppliername]
     ,B.[suppliername] AS [PARENTsuppliername]

FROM [whatsup].[dbo].[parent] A
left JOIN (
SELECT [parentsupplierid]
  ,[supplierid]
  ,[suppliername]
FROM [whatsup].[dbo].[parent]
WHERE [parentsupplierid] IS NULL
)B
ON A.parentsupplierid=B.supplierid
above query is not given expected result.

Since the sample data in the assignment question doesn't have a Parent Supplier ID for Supplier IDs 546 and 879 it will be impossible to produce the desired output. You need clarification on what is being asked of you from your teacher.

There's no way to do it. There's nothing defining that 879 has 789 as a parent. Same with the other missing match. You can't rely on the order because there's no order inside a table.
