SQL Server - Performing Bottom to Top recursion using CTE

You must have noticed that I kept posting about recursive updates several times in the last few weeks. This is the last post in the series that demonstrates bottom-to-top recursion using a CTE. In the earlier posts, we were discussing different ways to recursively update the count of items under each category/sub-category etc. This post presents two options using a bottom-to-top recursive CTE. One option presents how to do this by updating a column of the table and the other example demonstrates how to handle it in the SELECT query itself.
