Recursion is the property or quality of self-reference. In programming terms, recursion refers to a routine that repeatedly calls itself until a certain condition is fulfilled. One powerful way that SQL Server database developers can use recursion is to traverse hierarchies—collections of items that have parent-child relationships. People deal with hierarchies all the time: Every day, you have a series of tasks you must prioritize and then perform. Also, most people work within a hierarchy of employees. The classic way to represent a hierarchy within a database is to add a parent key to the object. A parent key is simply the primary key of an object that has a parent relationship to the current object.
