SQL Server INNER JOIN with hierarchyid

Question
I have two tables, one table is the items container, which holds all data related to the products. The other table is for categories, in which the data is organised using hierarchies.
The goal of the query is to list items that match the category from the selected category down.
Example:
CatID: 3, Parent: Root, Name: Computers
CatID: 4, Parent: 3, Name: Laptops
CatID: 5, Parent: 3, Name: Monitors
CatID: 6, Parent: 3, Name: Printers
CatID: 7, Parent: 6, Name: Laser
CatID: 8, Parent: 6, Name: Ink
CatID: 9, Parent: 6, Name: Multifunction
CatID: 10, Parent: 6, Name: Copier
If the CatID
selected is 3, all computer products will be displayed, but if the CatID
6 is selected, then only the printers will be displayed (items with CatID
7, 8, 9 and 10)
I'm rather new to hierarchy id and I have little idea on how to aproach this query.
Thanks to all who contribute.

Schema of both tables The idea is to join mz_category to ic_item_cat, so a query could list all items for a given category, but also for all child categories. This is intended for a special "home made" treeview where all categories are displayed according to the hierarchy; when a user clicks a category, it displays all items that belong to that category and all items that belong to the child categories as well. Hope you get the idea.

Solution
Will something like this work?
DECLARE @CatNode hierarchyid;
SET @CatNode = (
SELECT CatNode from mz_category
WHERE CatID = @CatID
);
SELECT * FROM Items
WHERE CatID IN (
SELECT CatID
FROM mz_category
WHERE CatNode.IsDescendantOf(@CatNode) = 1
);
OTHER TIPS
You can use a CTE
.
- Select the starting record(s)
- Get the children of these starting record(s) in the recursive part
SQL Statement
;WITH q AS (
SELECT CatID, Parent, Name
FROM YourTable
WHERE CatID = 3
UNION ALL
SELECT t.CatID, t.Parent, t.Name
FROM q
INNER JOIN YourTable t ON t.Parent = q.CatID
)
SELECT *
FROM q
DECLARE @CatID hierarchyid = '/6/';
WITH RootCategory AS (
SELECT CatID,
Parent,
Name
FROM Category
WHERE CatID = @CatID
UNION ALL
SELECT C.CatID,
C.Parent,
C.Name
FROM Category C
INNER JOIN RootCategory R ON C.Parent = R.CatID
)
SELECT *
FROM RootCategory
