NEXT MEETING
Thursday, July 9th
Hierarchyid
|
Hierarchyid is a datatype that may be used instead of foreign keys to indicate a parent/child relationship between rows in a table.
The advantage of using hierachyid is that it will typically speeds up selects against tree based data quite a bit. The disadvantage of it is that typically slows down inserts, updates, and deletes and generally requires a bit more care and feeding to maintain the foreign keys do. It is, however, another tool in you toolbox for dealing with tree like data.
We will be looking at how hierachyid works, how to use it, and how to maintain tables that use hierarchyid.
