I don't think, trigger could be recursive. Oh, well, now I have to check it in Help :)

>>I have this situation: I have self-related table and want to delete a record X and all the records below it.

>>Employee - Boss
>>******** ********
>>Bill .Null.
>>Joe Bill
>>Mark Joe
>>John Mark
>>Peter Joe
>>Paul John

>>So, I have this logical structure:
>>
>>Bill
>> |__Joe
>>     |__Mark
>>     |   |__John
>>     |       |__Paul
>>     |__Peter
>>
>>I want that, when I delete Joe, Mark, John, Paul and Peter get deleted too!
>>
>>I thought about 2 ways of doing that: the first one is a recursive function, where I would first "walk" and after delete (the deletion order would be paul, John, Mark, Peter and Paul). The other way (which i don't know if may work) is to create a trigger for the delete event on the table, but with this one I am not getting the idea.

>>Please, which one is better? Can you explain and give an example?
