Title:


Modeling and Querying Graphs and Hierarchies in SQL Server


 


Abstract:


Hierarchies and graphs exist all around us, in both the natural world and manmade constructs. Unfortunately, hierarchies—especially when they are dynamic in nature—tend to be extremely difficult to work with in SQL databases. In this session you will learn several methods of modeling hierarchies in the database and the ins and outs of querying them. Each method has distinct query complexity and performance pros and cons, and you will learn considerations to help you decide on the appropriate techniques to use in your real-world projects.
