Hi, We have nested folders with parent-child relationship. We use MySQL MyISAM DB. The data is stored in the DB in the following manner.
Every time a child folder is created in the nested structure, the previous parentID is added. I want to get the RootFolderID of a folder which is added in the hierarchy as tabulated below.
FoldID ParentID |RootFolderID
-----------------|-------------------
1 0 | 0
2 1 | 1
3 2 | 1
4 3 | 1
5 4 | 1
Please let me know how to get the root folderID and populate it in the RootFolderID column after a folder is created each time.
Thanks.
