Recursive CTE-Find all Employees Below Manager

vmb picture vmb · Dec 24, 2014 · Viewed 13.5k times · Source

I created a sample fiddle for this SQLFIDDLE

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Users](
    [userId] [int] ,
    [userName] [varchar](50) ,
    [managerId] [int] ,
   )

INSERT INTO dbo.Users
    ([userId], [userName], [managerId])
VALUES
(1,'Darry',NULL),
(2,'Cono',1),
(3,'Abros',2),
(4,'Natesh',1),
(5,'Ani',3),
(6,'Raju',5),
(7,'Pinky',5),
(8,'Miya',4)

My requirement is like displaying all employees hierarchy below that particular manager

Here is what i tried

WITH UserCTE AS (
  SELECT userId, userName, managerId, 0 AS EmpLevel
  FROM Users where managerId IS NULL

  UNION ALL

  SELECT usr.userId, usr.userName, usr.managerId, mgr.[EmpLevel]+1
  FROM Users AS usr
    INNER JOIN UserCTE AS mgr
      ON usr.managerId = mgr.userId where usr.managerId IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT * 
  FROM UserCTE AS u where u.ManagerId=3
  ORDER BY EmpLevel;

Output :

userName
--------
    Ani

The output that i am expecting is, if i give a ManagerId 3,then following employees should be shown

1.Abros
2.Ani
3.Raju
4.Pinky

Can anyone help on this

Try this. Filter has to be applied in the Anchor query of CTE

WITH UserCTE
     AS (SELECT userId,
                userName,
                managerId,
                0 AS EmpLevel
         FROM   [Users]
         WHERE  managerId = 3
         UNION ALL
         SELECT usr.userId,
                usr.userName,
                usr.managerId,
                mgr.[EmpLevel] + 1
         FROM   [Users] AS usr
                INNER JOIN UserCTE AS mgr
                        ON usr.managerId = mgr.userId
         WHERE  usr.managerId IS NOT NULL)
SELECT *
FROM   UserCTE AS u
ORDER  BY EmpLevel;
