I have the following table.


GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[itTransactionProcess] Script Date:
05/01/2007 10:42:31 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[itTransactionProcess](
[TransactionID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[LotNumber] [int] NOT NULL,
[CurrentProcessStepID] [int] NOT NULL,
[NextProcessStepID] [int] NULL,
[CategoryID] [int] NULL,
[ProductID] [int] NULL,
[ProductVariantID] [int] NULL,
[ParentTransactionID] [int] NULL,
[TransactionDateEntered] [datetime] NULL,
[TransactionDateExit] [datetime] NULL,
[Settlement] [money] NULL,
[Completed] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_itTransactionProcess] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[TransactionID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY
= OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

Sample data is as follows


Basically what I need to do is return the lotid where all path have a
settlement date.

this is my current procedure

/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].

If you follow transaction id 714 up through the parent transaction ids
it doesn't not have a settlement cost yet lot 47 shows up as settled.

Thanks for you help.

The procedure I entered above is incorrect.

here is the correct one.

ALTER Procedure [dbo].[GetPendingSettlementsLotNumbers]
(
@CurrentParentTransactionID int = 0
)
as
/*------------------------------------------------------------
Lists the contents of a table designed to represent a multi-
branch tree. The result set takes the form:
ItemID TreeLevel Label
Tree traversal is done non-recursively (to avoid SQL Server's
limit of 32 nested procedure calls)
------------------------------------------------------------*/


--table to hold the result set: a tree structure arranged by level
declare @IndentedTree table(TransactionID int, ParentTransactionID
int, TreeLevel int, LotNumber int, SettlementPrice decimal(32,9))


--table to track where we are in the tree
--this represents a stack turned upside down (with the most resent
item on
--the bottom)
declare @UnvisitedNodes table(StackID int identity(1,1), TransactionID
int, ParentTransactionID int, TreeLevel int, LotNumber int,
SettlementPrice decimal(32,9))
declare @LastTreeLevel int


set nocount on


--initialize the unvisited nodes list
set @LastTreeLevel = 0
INSERT INTO @UnvisitedNodes (TransactionID, ParentTransactionID,
TreeLevel, LotNumber, SettlementPrice)
--SELECT TransactionID, @LastTreeLevel, Label
--FROM tree
--WHERE ParentTransactionID = @CurrentParentTransactionID
--ORDER BY Label desc
Select TransactionID, ParentTransactionID, @LastTreeLevel,
LotNumber, Settlement
From itTransactionProcess
Where ParentTransactionID = @CurrentParentTransactionID and
Settlement is null
ORDER BY ParentTransactionID desc
--Select * from @UnvisitedNodes
--loop through levels of the tree structure
while ((SELECT count(*) FROM @UnvisitedNodes) <> 0)
begin
--add the top item to the result set
INSERT INTO @IndentedTree
SELECT TransactionID, ParentTransactionID, TreeLevel, LotNumber,
SettlementPrice
FROM @UnvisitedNodes
WHERE StackID = (SELECT max(StackID) FROM @UnvisitedNodes)
--Select * from @IndentedTree
Delete From @IndentedTree where TransactionID in (Select
ParentTransactionID from itTransactionProcess)

--get the top item's ID
set @CurrentParentTransactionID = (
SELECT TransactionID
FROM @UnvisitedNodes
WHERE StackID = (SELECT max(StackID) FROM @UnvisitedNodes))

--get the top item's indentation level
set @LastTreeLevel = (
SELECT TreeLevel
FROM @UnvisitedNodes
WHERE StackID = (SELECT max(StackID) FROM @UnvisitedNodes))


--delete that item from the list

DELETE FROM @UnvisitedNodes WHERE TransactionID =
@CurrentParentTransactionID



--add the children of the current item to the top of the list of
unvisited
--nodes
INSERT INTO @UnvisitedNodes (TransactionID, ParentTransactionID,
TreeLevel, LotNumber)
--SELECT TransactionID, @LastTreeLevel + 1, LotNumber
--FROM tree
--WHERE ParentTransactionID = @CurrentParentTransactionID
--ORDER BY LotNumber desc
Select TransactionID, ParentTransactionID, @LastTreeLevel + 1,
LotNumber
From itTransactionProcess
Where ParentTransactionID = @CurrentParentTransactionID and
Settlement is null
ORDER BY ParentTransactionID desc
end


--return the result set
Select LotId From ItLots where LotID not in
(SELECT LotNumber
FROM @IndentedTree) and LotID in (Select LotNumber from
itTransactionProcess)

Please disreguard post.

Everything work but when I moved the database over to a new server the
default values didn't stick to so the parent trasactionid was never
initiallized to 0.

Thanks,

Have you gotten a copy of TREES & HIERARCHIES IN SQL? There are
several ways to model trees without *any* procedural traversal code at
all.

You also have more NULL-able columns int his one table than the entire
payroll data base of a major automobile.

You used an IDENTITY as a key; is the real key (lot_nbr,
process_step) ?

Many of your data element names are just plain wrong. Think how silly
"category_id" is for an attribute; it is either "<some kind
of>_category" or "<some kind of>_id", but not both an identifier
(unique to one and only one instance of an entity) and a category
(value appears in many entities). Ditto monsters like
"current_process_step_id" as opposed to a mere "process_step" or
"process_id" instead. Get a copy of ISO-11179 rules for data element
names.

Learn what data and meta data are so you will not mix them in the
table.
