Okay, this is what I'm trying to do. I am using a CTE query in MSSQL2005. The task of the query is to return the parent child relations of the product categories and return the number of products under each category (including any products contained in the child categories).
My current version only returns the number of products for the displayed category. This does not apply to products that may be contained in any of his children.
Dump the database to reproduce the problem, as well as the query and explanation used below:

[CategoryID] INT,
[Name] NCHAR(150)

This uses the CTE request:
WITH ProductCategories (CategoryID, ParentID, [Name], Level)
AS
(
SELECT
C.CategoryID,
CXR.ParentID,
C.Name,
0 AS Level
FROM
Categories C,
Categories_XRef CXR
WHERE
C.CategoryID = CXR.CategoryID
AND CXR.ParentID = 0
UNION ALL
SELECT
C.CategoryID,
CXR.ParentID,
C.Name,
Level + 1
FROM
Categories C,
Categories_XRef CXR,
ProductCategories AS PC
WHERE
C.CategoryID = CXR.CategoryID
AND CXR.ParentID = PC.CategoryID
)
SELECT
PC.ParentID,
PC.CategoryID,
PC.Name,
PC.Level,
(SELECT
Count(P.ProductID)
FROM
Products P,
Products_Categories_XREF PCXR
WHERE
P.ProductID = PCXR.ProductID
AND PCXR.CategoryID = PC.CategoryID
) as ProductCount
FROM
Categories C,
ProductCategories PC
WHERE
PC.CategoryID = C.CategoryID
AND PC.ParentID = 943
ORDER BY
Level, PC.Name
First, change “PC.ParentID” to 943. You will see three returned results showing the number of products for each displayed category.
ParentID 943 942 . 1 , "", 0
( ), . : ( 942), , , 13 "ProductCount". , , . , .
