Do you still hold on to the parent/child design, or would like to try something new, like SQL Server hierarchyID? Well, it is really new because hierarchyID has been a part of SQL Server since 2008. Of course, the novelty itself is not a persuasive argument. But note that Microsoft added this feature to represent one-to-many relationships with multiple levels in a better way.
You may wonder what difference it makes and which benefits you get from using hierarchyID instead of the usual parent/child relationships. If you never explored this option, it might be surprising for you.
The truth is, I didn’t explore this option since it was released. However, when I finally did it, I found it a great innovation. It is a better-looking code, but it has much more in it. In this article, we are going to find out about all those excellent opportunities.
However, before we dive into the peculiarities of using SQL Server hierarchyID, let’s clarify its meaning and scope.
SQL Server hierarchyID is a built-in data type designed to represent trees, which are the most common type of hierarchical data. Each item in a tree is called a node. In a table format, it is a row with a column of hierarchyID data type.
Usually, we demonstrate hierarchies using a table design. An ID column represents a node, and another column stands for the parent. With the SQL Server HierarchyID, we only need one column with a data type of hierarchyID.
When you query a table with a hierarchyID column, you see hexadecimal values. It is one of the visual images of a node. Another way is a string:
‘/’ stands for the root node;
‘/1/’, ‘/2/’, ‘/3/’ or ‘/n/’ stand for the children – direct descendants 1 to n;
‘/1/1/’ or ‘/1/2/’ are the “children of children – “grandchildren.” The string like ‘/1/2/’ means that the first child from the root has two children, which are, in their turn, two grandchildren of the root.
Here’s a sample of what it looks like:
Figure 1: A sample output showing nodes (1st column) and node strings (2nd column)
Unlike other data types, hierarchyID columns can take advantage of built-in methods. For example, if you have a hierarchyID column named RankNode, you can have the following syntax:
RankNode..
One of the available methods is IsDescendantOf. It returns 1 if the current node is a descendant of a hierarchyID value.
You can write code with this method similar to the one below:
SELECT
r.RankNode
,r.Rank
FROM dbo.Ranks r
WHERE r.RankNode.IsDescendantOf(0x58) = 1
Other methods used with hierarchyID are the following:
To ensure that queries for tables using hierarchyID run as fast as possible, you need to index the column. There are two indexing strategies:
In a depth-first index, the subtree rows are closer to each other. It suits queries like finding a department, its subunits, and employees. Another example is a manager and its employees stored closer together.
In a table, you can implement a depth-first index by creating a clustered index for the nodes. Further, we perform one of our examples, just like that.
Figure 2: Depth-first indexing strategy. The Chief Engineer subtree is highlighted in the org. chart and the result set. The list is sorted based on each subtree.
In a breadth-first index, the same level’s rows are closer together. It suits queries like finding all the manager’s directly reporting employees. If most of the queries are similar to this, create a clustered index based on (1) level and (2) node.
Figure 3: _Breadth-first indexing strategy. A portion of the second rank level is highlighted in the org. chart and the result set. The list is sorted based on the scale. _
It depends on your requirements if you need a depth-first index, a breadth-first, or both. You need to balance between the importance of the queries type and the DML statements you execute on the table.
Unfortunately, using hierarchyID can’t resolve all issues:
Before we proceed, consider one more question. Looking at the result set with node strings, do you find the hierarchy visualizing hard for your eyes?
For me, it’s a big yes because I am not getting younger.
For this reason, we are going to use Power BI and Hierarchy Chart from Akvelon along with our database tables. They will help to display the hierarchy in an organizational chart. I hope it will make the job easier.
Now, let’s get down to business.
You can use HierarchyID with the following business scenarios:
Even if your business scenario is similar to the above, and you rarely query across the hierarchy sections, you don’t need hierarchyID.
For example, your organization processes payrolls for employees. Do you need to access the subtree to process someone’s payroll? Not at all. However, if you process commissions of people in a multi-level marketing system, it can be different.
In this post, we use the portion of the organizational structure and the chain of command on a cruise ship. The structure was adapted from the organizational chart from here. Take a look at it in Figure 4 below:
Figure 4: Organizational structure of a typical cruise ship rendered using Power BI, Hierarchy Chart by Akvelon, and SQL Server. Names are made-up and do not relate to actual people and cruise ships.
Now you can visualize the hierarchy in question. We use the below tables throughout this post:

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is a scripting language expected to store, control, and inquiry information put away in social databases. The main manifestation of SQL showed up in 1974, when a gathering in IBM built up the principal model of a social database. The primary business social database was discharged by Relational Software later turning out to be Oracle.
Models for SQL exist. In any case, the SQL that can be utilized on every last one of the major RDBMS today is in various flavors. This is because of two reasons:
1. The SQL order standard is genuinely intricate, and it isn’t handy to actualize the whole standard.
2. Every database seller needs an approach to separate its item from others.
Right now, contrasts are noted where fitting.

Perl script converts PDF files to Gerber format
Pdf2Gerb generates Gerber 274X photoplotting and Excellon drill files from PDFs of a PCB. Up to three PDFs are used: the top copper layer, the bottom copper layer (for 2-sided PCBs), and an optional silk screen layer. The PDFs can be created directly from any PDF drawing software, or a PDF print driver can be used to capture the Print output if the drawing software does not directly support output to PDF.
The general workflow is as follows:
Please note that Pdf2Gerb does NOT perform DRC (Design Rule Checks), as these will vary according to individual PCB manufacturer conventions and capabilities. Also note that Pdf2Gerb is not perfect, so the output files must always be checked before submitting them. As of version 1.6, Pdf2Gerb supports most PCB elements, such as round and square pads, round holes, traces, SMD pads, ground planes, no-fill areas, and panelization. However, because it interprets the graphical output of a Print function, there are limitations in what it can recognize (or there may be bugs).
See docs/Pdf2Gerb.pdf for install/setup, config, usage, and other info.
#Pdf2Gerb config settings:
#Put this file in same folder/directory as pdf2gerb.pl itself (global settings),
#or copy to another folder/directory with PDFs if you want PCB-specific settings.
