Finding Continuous Chains from a SQL Table: A Recursive Approach
Forming a Continuous Chain from a SQL Table Introduction The provided SQL table, #forming, contains three columns: SeqNo, StartStep, and EndStep. Each row represents a step in the process, with SeqNo being the unique identifier for each step, StartStep indicating the starting point of the step, and EndStep denoting the completion of the step. The goal is to form chains from these steps by traversing them in a continuous manner.
