 Post subject: How to do a recursive query?

I am sorry if this is asked before, but I couldn't find anything relevant.

I have a tree structure of Categories (using fk parentID). Each leaf category contains Products.

All I need is a HQL query (or whatever else) that given a certain Category, it will fetch all Products which belongs in this Category or any of its children.

The only "solution" I found so far (without changing the tables) is to do multiple self joins, one for each level of the tree, like this

inner join Categories as Categories
inner join Categories as SubCategories
inner join Categories as SubSubCategories

, but there must be a better way...

I hope I make sense...

Hi,

in my test project I realized your structure in xml with lazy loading:
Master --> MasterDetails --> MasterDetailDetails

Code:
  <class name="ObjectModel.Test.Master, ObjectModel" table="Test_Master">
    <id name="Id" type="Int32" column="Id" access="field.pascalcase-m-underscore">
      <generator class="hilo">
        <param name="table">NH_Key_Test</param>
        <param name="column">Test_Master</param>
        <param name="max_lo">0</param>
      </generator>
    </id>
    <version name="RowVersion" column="RowVersion" type="Int32" unsaved-value="negative" />
    <property name="Description" column="Description" type="String" />
    <bag name="masterdetails" inverse="true" cascade="all" lazy="true">
      <key column="IdMaster" />
      <one-to-many class="ObjectModel.Test.MasterDetail, ObjectModel" />
    </bag>
  </class>

  <class name="ObjectModel.Test.MasterDetail, ObjectModel" table="Test_MasterDetail">
    <id name="Id" type="Int32" column="Id" access="field.pascalcase-m-underscore">
      <generator class="hilo">
        <param name="table">NH_Key_Test</param>
        <param name="column">Test_MasterDetail</param>
        <param name="max_lo">0</param>
      </generator>
    </id>
    <version name="RowVersion" column="RowVersion" type="Int32" unsaved-value="negative" />
    <property name="Description" column="Description" type="String" />
    <many-to-one name="Master" column="IdMaster" class="ObjectModel.Test.Master, ObjectModel" cascade="none" />
    <bag name="masterdetaildetails" inverse="true" cascade="all" lazy="true">
      <key column="IdMasterDetail" />
      <one-to-many class="ObjectModel.Test.MasterDetailDetail, ObjectModel" />
    </bag>
  </class>

  <class name="ObjectModel.Test.MasterDetailDetail, ObjectModel" table="Test_MasterDetailDetail">
    <id name="Id" type="Int32" column="Id" access="field.pascalcase-m-underscore">
      <generator class="hilo">
        <param name="table">NH_Key_Test</param>
        <param name="column">Test_MasterDetailDetail</param>
        <param name="max_lo">0</param>
      </generator>
    </id>
    <version name="RowVersion" column="RowVersion" type="Int32" unsaved-value="negative" />
    <property name="Description" column="Description" type="String" />
    <many-to-one name="MasterDetail" column="IdMasterDetail" class="ObjectModel.Test.MasterDetail, ObjectModel" cascade="none" />
  </class>



You have to create 3 classes reflecting this xml structure and load the collections.

Could you be interested in this kind of solution?

If I understand correctly, its the same logic as to do multiple joins on the same table.

I could always of course build a recursive function that would use the ChildCategories (lazy loading) collections and return a collection with everything it finds. Then from that collection I could build another one accumulating all the ChildProducts.

But I think all this is ungly... I am trying to find an elegant solution that will work with trees of any depth and without recursion through code. I am not sure it can be done, but I am new to nHibernate and I may miss something.

The only solution I found required changing the way the hierarchy is stored in the db (nested set model instead of the adjustency). I think "Hibernate in Action Second Editon" has an example of an implementation of the nested set model.

I've been wondering the same thing. My assumption so far has been that it can't be done other than the way that you described. My guess is that it's just a limitation of SQL?

If you do find a way to do it, please post to the forum because I'd definitely be interested in learning how.

As for me, I've been doing it the "ugly" way as that's the only way I know how. It's certainly not very efficient.
