Which version of SQL Server are you? If you are on SQL 2005, you should
look into a new features know as Common Table Expressions, or CTEs for
short. A special form is recursive CTE which permits you to handle a
hierarchy in a single statement. Look up the topic "WITH common table
expression" in Books Online for further details.
