Craig Freedman has an excellent description of how recursive CTE's work.

What's important to remember about rCTE's is that only the result of the last recursive iteration (the alias lr)...

Excellent investigative work, Paul.

It's not uncommon for indexes to be disabled during loads - but best practice is to enable them again afterwards 😉

Apologies - you're right - bit of brain freeze here I guess.

If I sort by List I get:

1>2

1>2>3

1>2>3>6

1>2>3>7

1>2>3>7>10

1>2>3>7>9

1>2>4

1>2>4>8

1>2>5

So, the only niggle is that 1>2>3>7>10 is appearing before 1>2>3>7>9

I've tried...

Put in a specific check for NULL:

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT

WebFormData_2.FieldValue AS Surname,

WebFormData_7.FieldValue AS SpecialReq

FROM db.R

INNER JOIN db.WebFormData WebFormData_2

ON db.R.WebFormRowId = WebFormData_2.WebFormRowId

AND (WebFormData_2.WebFormFieldId = 98 OR WebFormData_2.WebFormFieldId...

ISNUMERIC isn't very useful, see this article[/url].

(CROSS/OUTER) APPLY can be a handy and efficient alternative:

SELECT

m.BatchFileId,

x.Num1

FROM MyTable m

CROSS APPLY (

SELECT Num1 = CAST(

CASE WHEN m.LineItemValue NOT LIKE '%E%' THEN m.LineItemValue...

Here's the output of the rCTE:

Hi and thanks very much for that.

It produces in the list column:

1>2

1>2>3

1>2>4

1>2>5

1>2>4>8

1>2>3>6

1>2>3>7>9

1>2>3>7>10

What I need it to produce is:

1>2

1>2>3

1>2>3>6

1>2>3>7

1>2>3>7>9

1>2>3>7>10

1>2>4

1>2>4>8

1>2>5

I've tried various sorting but I can't...
