SQL Loop over the Family Tree

Question

Using SQL Server 2008. I have a pedigree tree of animals stored in a table, and I want to give some information about how "offspring" is genetically diverse (or not). In SQL, how can I present reasonable indicators to show how closely related parents are? Perhaps a percentage of the total blood or several generations to go back before there is a common ancestor?

AnimalTable 
Id
Name
mumId
dadId

select * from AnimalTable child
inner join AnimalTable mum on child.[mumId] = mum.[Id]
inner join AnimalTable dad on child.[dadId] = dad.[Id]

inner join AnimalTable mums_mum on mum.[mumId] = mums_mum.[Id]
inner join AnimalTable mums_dad on mum.[dadId] = mums_dad.[Id]

inner join AnimalTable dads_mum on dad.[mumId] = dads_mum.[Id]
inner join AnimalTable dads_dad on dad.[dadId] = dads_dad.[Id]

Answer 1

I would suggest you look at recursion using CTE (Common Table Expression).

WITH    hier1(parent, level) AS
        (
        SELECT  mum, 1
        FROM    AnimalTable a
        WHERE   a.id = @first_animal
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  dad, 1
        FROM    AnimalTable a
        WHERE   a.id = @first_animal
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  mum, level + 1
        FROM    q
        JOIN    AnimalTable a
        ON      a.id = q.parent
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  dad, level + 1
        FROM    q
        JOIN    AnimalTable a
        ON      a.id = q.parent
        ),
        hier2(parent, level) AS
        (
        SELECT  mum, level
        FROM    AnimalTable a
        WHERE   a.id = @second_animal
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  dad, level
        FROM    AnimalTable a
        WHERE   a.id = @second_animal
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  mum, level + 1
        FROM    q
        JOIN    AnimalTable a
        ON      a.id = q.parent
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  dad, level + 1
        FROM    q
        JOIN    AnimalTable a
        ON      a.id = q.parent
        )
SELECT  TOP 1
        h1.parent,
        CASE WHEN h1.level < h2.level THEN h1.level ELSE h2.level END AS minlevel
FROM    hier1 h1
JOIN    hier2 h2
ON      h1.parent = h2.parent
ORDER BY
