I may be mistaken as I have not tested this out

INSERT INTO @Hierarchy

SELECT

h.ID

, h.ParentID

, h.Name

, @Level + 1

FROM

HierarchyBig h

INNER JOIN @Hierarchy t

ON h.ParentID = t.ID;

For this and the temp table, wont this statement run indefinitely once it reaches the final level, if not for the max recursion setting?

Hi MMartin1,

We need to seed the root node first.. This has come in screenshot but not in code.

INSERT INTO @Hierarchy (ID, ParentID, Name, Level)

SELECT ID, ParentID, Name, 1

FROM HierarchyBig

WHERE ParentID IS NULL;

Thanks for pointing that out . I’ll request an update to reflect the correct version. Appreciate the feedback!
