Re: [firebird-support] nesting - weight calculation
There is at least a good alternative, Frank Ingermann showed how to do something very similar when calculating the amount of ingredients required when baking a marble cake at a Firebird conference a few years ago. He used a recursive CTE. Whether a recursive CTE is simpler than a recursive procedure or not depends partly on implementation, partly on what you mean by simple and partly on who you ask. I liked Franks solution. Set __ Hello, there is a table with all Material (stock), each one has a number. Now, in a second table there is listed the material that is a part of the Material. For example: Material ABC Material BCD Material XXX Material OMV Material KOM Material OMV can be a Part of XXX and XXX a Part of ABC, of course the BCD can assigned to XXX, OMV, ABC. Now I would like to know what is the total weight of the main material, (total weight from abc + amount of bcd + amount of xxx ABC has 2 XXX, XXX has 2 OMV Now we have 1 X ABC, 2 times XXX and 4 X OMV, OMV weighs 0,5kg and so on The structure Table Mainmaterial PartNo Description Table Material PartNo of Mainmaterial PartNoA = assigned Material Amount (of PartNoA) Is there a simpler statement possible than my stored procedure (recursive) Thank you.

Store the weight in new Part_Weight table, trigger to tag TableMaterial changes (Changed = True) when change any of the sub-parts are made, and then a SP (which would be called before you run any analysis/report, and/or run on a scheduled basis) to recalculate the weights of any Part that have changed sub-parts. In this way you have the weights and only do the recursive SP when absolutely necessary. Sean

I tried without the _utf8 prefix and it worked: 1) Connect as UTF8 charset 2) Create SP with EXCEPTION ERROR 'some Cyrillic string'; 3) Validate that RDB$PROCEDURES.RDB$PROCEDURE_BLR (not RDB$PROCEDURE_SOURCE!) really contains a Unicode string 4) Connect as WIN1251, execute SP - error text is Cyrillic 5) Connect as WIN1250, execute SP - cannot transliterate character between character sets Dmitry
