Swipe to show menu

Task

Swipe to start coding

Write a recursive CTE that retrieves all tasks (direct and indirect) that must be completed before a specified project task can begin. Use the sample data provided, which contains task dependencies for multiple projects. Your query should return the task IDs and names of all prerequisite tasks for the given task_id.

  • Start the recursion from the immediate dependencies of the specified task_id.
  • In each recursive step, find dependencies of the tasks found in the previous step.
  • Continue until all transitive dependencies are found.
  • Return each prerequisite task's ID and name.
  • The output should include only the prerequisite tasks, not the specified task_id itself.
