Re: [pgadmin-support] How to find out hierchy of employee?

[Derrick Betts]

In looking at your result set, it appears that there is no way of determining which employee is responsible to which manager. This is how I've done it:     Every employee is assigned a StationID.  For example a Sr. Manager or Administrator is assigned an ID of 'B01'  (Business unit 01).      Then every manager under that Sr. Manager is assigned a StationID that ties them to the Sr. Manager.  For Example 'B01A', or 'B01B' ... 'B01ZZ'.     Then every employee under that Manager is assigned a StationID that ties them to their specific Manager.  For example 'B01A1' or 'B01A2'.  Or for a different Manager 'B01ZZ1' or 'B01ZZ2'.   Now you can do a query to select all employees under a Sr. Manager, Manager, or etc. by performing this type of simple Query:     "SELECT employee_name WHERE stationid LIKE 'B01%';"  This will return all the employees whose StationID matches that of the Sr. Manager. If you only want the employees under a Manager, just change the LIKE clause in the query to: LIKE 'B01ZZ%'   Hope this helps. Derrick Betts ----- Original Message ----- From: VivekanandaSwamy R.
