Answer 1

i was totally confused n hasty..Sorry to post with so incomplete info.
actually i have a table that stores the total amount paid to an employee.
for that my Table1 above serves the purpose.
Table 1
Parent ID
Parent Name
Amount
the IInd table stores the distribution of the above (TABLE 1) total amount,
to his family in case he has died. so the correct child table 2 struc is;
table 2
DPND_CODE             
DPND_NAME             
DPND_RELAT_CODE       
DPND_DOB              
DPND_YN               
DPND_SHARE_AMOUNT     
DPND_BANK_CODE        
DPND_BANK_AC_NO       
DPND_AGENT_CODE
dpnd_PARENT_id  (Foreign key)
and therefore the result that m looking for is;
PARENT ID      PARENT NAME      AMOUNT
001                emp1                   200.000 <------FROM TABLE 1
    dpnd_code  dpnd_name     dpnd_share_amount
    001_01       emp1_chld1     50.000  |
    001_02       emp1_chld2     50.000  |__FROM TABLE 2
    001_03       emp1_chld3     50.000  |
    001_04       emp1_chld4     50.000  |
a condition should check whether dpnd_YN field = "Y",
as all the next-of-kin members details of the deceased family is entered in the system at the time of his death.
where as per rule only few qualify to get the share from the deceased pension as per policy.
therefore the query should pick up only child records whom dpnd_YN IS MARKED As 'Y'.
You've provided (3), but I don't know if that's really a good illustration of your problem.
Do you have just one root (001), or can you have multiple roots (001, 002, 003, etc.)?
Does the parent-child relationship go beyond two levels? (Thta is, can you have 001_01_01 or 001_01_02_03?)
Yes the ROOT is always one, it will never go beyond two levels. (Just 001_01, 001_02...002_01, 002_02...003_01, 003_02..)
Hope i am much better than before.
