I have a hierarchy table which looks like this:
RowID   Code       Name             ParentID   Level
1        GC         Gulf Coast        NULL       1
21       GC.1       Texas             1          2
28       GC.1.1     Houston           2          3
34       GC.1.2     Galveston         2          3
67       GC.1.1.1   Hou Ship Channel  3          4 

Would like to know how I can query this data so that the resulting data would appear as such:
RowID   Level1 Name       Level2 Name      Level3 Name      Level4 Name
1        Gulf Coast        NULL             NULL
21       Gulf Coast        Texas            NULL
28       Gull Coast        Texas            Houston
34       Gull Coast        Texas            Galveston
67       Gull Coast        Texas            Houston          Hou Ship Channel


The query I've written only is only returning the last level. Can you please help.

Thanks Jake

Recursive Common Table Expression?

Are you saying we have to fix your query without seeing it? And insufficient information of your database schema?

is the parent id value is right?

is the parent id of the 3rd and 4th row is 28

I'd suggest to read this: Hierarchical Data (SQL Server)[^].

Here on CP you'll find a lot of articles about fetching hierarchical data. Use SearchBox on the right-top corner of this site.

I figured out that using a UNION gets me want I need. Thank you all that replied.
