I have table structure like this:
x
ID Name ParentId
-------------------------
1 Root 0
2 Business 1
3 Finance 2
4 Stock 3
5 Any 3
6 One 0
7 Two 6
Is there any way to get all relation in one line?
Like this:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|ID | NAME | ID | NAME | ID | NAME | ID | NAME |
|----------|------------|-----------|-----------|----------|---------|--------|------|
| 1 | Root | 2 | Business | 3 | Finance | 4 | Stock|
| 1 | Root | 2 | Business | 3 | Finance | 4 | Any |
| 1 | One | 6 | Two | | | | |

Assuming your table has a name “htable” and as soon as there are up to FOUR (4) levels of hierarchy, it can be done like that using self join:
SELECT level1.ID, level1.Name,
level2.ID, level2.Name,
level3.ID, level3.Name,
level4.ID, level4.Name
FROM htable AS level1
LEFT JOIN htable AS level2 ON level1.ID = level2.ParentId
LEFT JOIN htable AS level3 ON level2.ID = level3.ParentId
LEFT JOIN htable AS level4 ON level3.ID = level4.ParentId;
