DESCRIPTION:<div>
	Hierarchies and graphs are the bread and butter of most business applications and you find them almost everywhere:</div>
<div>
	* Product Categories</div>
<div>
	* Sales Territories</div>
<div>
	* Bill of Material</div>
<div>
	* Networks</div>
<div>
	Even when there is a big need from a business perspective, the solutions in relational databases are mostly sort of awkward. The most flexible hierarchies are usually modeled as self-referenced tables. If you want to successfully query such self-referenced hierarchies, you will need either loops or recursive Common Table Expressions. SQL Server 2017 comes now with a different approach: Graph Database.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Join this session for a journey through best practices to transform your hierarchies into useful information. We will have fun playing around with a sample database based on G. R. R. Martin&rsquo;s famous &ldquo;Game of Thrones&rdquo;.</div>
