regards, -----Original Message----- From: Jakob Vedel Adeltoft [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 16:30 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JOIN on same table Hi there, I have this table: project_group_id ref_project_group_id name root_project_group_id node_depth inherit 10 0 ProjectA 0 0 0 57 10 SubProjectA 10 1 1 59 57 SubProjectB 10 2 1 60 59 SubProjectC 10 3 0 62 60 SubProjectD 10 4 1 project_group_id (int) = primary key. ref_project_group_id (int) = parent project (if root, then 0) name (char) = name of project root_project_group_id (int) = project_group_id for root project (if root, then 0) node_depth (int) = how far down in the tree this child is (if root, then 0) inherit (int) = determines if this project inherit information from parent (no=0, yes=1) This would look somehting like this in a treeview: ProjectA (10) <- node_depth = 0 (root) \ SubProjectA (57) <- node_depth = 1 \ SubProjectB (59) <- node_depth = 2 \ SubProjectC (60) <- node_depth = 3 \ SubProjectD (62) <- node_depth = 4 I now wan't all child records (inclusive root) for ProjectA that inherit information. This means that I only wan't records with project_group_id = 10, 57, 59, because 60 is NOT inheriting and it's child project (62) is then not able to inherit. I've made the follwoing query: SELECT PGL1.project_group_id, PGL1.ref_project_group_id, PGL1.name, PGL1.permission_inherit, PGL1.node_depth, PGL1.root_project_group_id FROM project_group_list PGL1 LEFT JOIN project_group_list PGL2 ON PGL1.root_project_group_id = PGL2.root_project_group_id WHERE PGL2.root_project_group_id = 10 AND PGL2.permission_inherit = 0 AND PGL1.node_depth < PGL2.node_depth ORDER BY PGL1.node_depth But this only gives me 57 and 59, but not 10 (root). This query also have a problem, if all projects is inheriting and there is no records with inherit=0, then the query returns no results. What can I do to solve this problem? I hope someone can help me... /Jakob --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
