In the image above which represents an SQL table I would like to search 1111 and retrieve its last replaced number which should be 4444 where 1111 is just a single number replaced by a single number 4444. then i would like to search 5555 which should return (6666,9999,8888). NB 9999 had replaced 7777.
so 1111 was a single part number replaced multiple times and 5555 was a group number with multiple parts breakdown with one replaced number within(7777>>9999).
What would be the fastest and most efficient method?
if possible a solution using SQL for efficiency.
if unable within SQL then from within PHP.
What I have tried:
1) while loop. but need to access database 1000 times for 1000 replaced numbers. ##too inefficient.
2)
SELECT C.RPLPART
FROM TABLE A
left join TABLE B on A.RPLPART=B.PART#
left join TABLE C on B.RPLPART=C.PART#
WHERE A.PART#='1111' ##Unable to know when last number is reached.
A recursive Common Table Expression (CTE) would seem to be the ticket.
Something like so...
with rcte (lvl, topPart, part#, rplpart) as
(select 1 as lvl, part#, part#, rplpart
from MYTABLE
union all
select p.lvl + 1, p.topPart, c.part#, c.rplpart
from rcte p, MYTABLE c
where p.rplpart = c.part#
)
select topPart, rplpart
from rcte
where toppart = 1111
order by lvl desc
fetch first row only;
You can do this using a recursive CTE that generates a complete replacement chain for a given starting part id, and then limit the result to just those that don't exist in the parts#
column:
WITH cte(part) AS
(SELECT replpart FROM parts WHERE part# = 1111
UNION ALL
SELECT parts.replpart FROM parts, cte WHERE parts.part# = cte.part)
SELECT DISTINCT part
FROM cte
WHERE part NOT IN (SELECT part# FROM parts);
