• SQL Server Help with CURSOR

  We have a tree structure containing section names. Each node is a section name and each section can have subsections. I have to copy the tree structure but need to maintain the parent-child relationship established within the id / parent_id fields. How do i acheive this For example i have the tree Section 1 |-Section 1.1 Section 2 |-Section 2.1 The "Section" table contains 3 fields: id, parent_id, and caption. ID is the identity of the section record and parent_id contains NULL or the ID of this record's parent to create a child. So "Section 1" (id=1, parent_id=null), "Section 2" (id=2, parent_id=null), "Section 1.1" (id=3, parent_id=1), "Section 2.1" (id=4,parent_id=2). I would like to ...Show All

In code: if(logon_time_id < start_valid_period) initialDatetime = start_valid_period else initialDatetime = logon_time_id if(logoff_time < end_valid_period) finalDateti ...Show All
