I have table with child and parent hierarchy within same table.
I hvae column to identify the parent of the respective node.
Records like

Id name Parent
1 ABC Null
2 PQR 1
3 DEF Null
4 LMN Null
5 OPQ Null
6 JKL 2
7 TUY 4

So i want to display parent & then his child. if no child the next parent
Output expected is

Id name Parent
1 ABC Null
2 PQR 1
6 JKL 2
3 DEF Null
4 LMN Null
7 TUY 4
5 OPQ Null

Please give the query providing the expected output parent following expected output.

Regards,
Vishal Shinde.

How do I capture (output) the last value of the sort column so that I can begin the next group at the next value?

I’m looking at the OUTPUT clause and the ranking functions today, but haven’t reached any conclusions yet.
