Hmmm. That looks pretty good. I'll see if it will fit with the rest of the logic.
Thanks!

The query would be something like this: SELECT p.ID, p.name, c.ID as Child_ID, c.Name, c.Parent_ID, c.dependsOnParent FROM Candidate p LEFT OUTER JOIN Candidate c on (c.parent_ID = p.ID) WHERE p.Parent_ID = 0 OR (p.Parent_ID = 1 AND c.dependsOnParent = 0) Something like that should work.
