Question

please see the query.
i want to develop a query in which when i give an id
i need to get all the names recursively. for example
when i give 3 i should get the names Customer,setup and Admin
i need to get it without using temporarytable and cursors.
Thanks in advance for your help.

                        (id int,
                         name varchar(100),
                         pid int);

INSERT INTO @tblPagePath
        ( id, name, pid )
VALUES  ( 1, -- id - int
          'Admin', -- name - varchar(100)
          null  -- pid - int
          ) 
INSERT INTO @tblPagePath
        ( id, name, pid )
VALUES  ( 2, -- id - int
          'Setup', -- name - varchar(100)
          1  -- pid - int
          )                      

INSERT INTO @tblPagePath
        ( id, name, pid )
VALUES  ( 3, -- id - int
          'Customer', -- name - varchar(100)
          2  -- pid - int
          );

WITH C AS
(
  SELECT T.id, 
         T.name, 
         T.pid
  FROM @tblPagePath AS T
  WHERE T.id = 3
  UNION ALL
  SELECT T.id, 
         T.name, 
         T.pid
  FROM @tblPagePath AS T
    INNER JOIN C
      ON C.pid = T.id

)
SELECT *
FROM C
--WHERE C.id <> 3
