Your solutions are slower, not as generic and incapable of representing below cases without NULL and redundancy while XDb1 is normalized to atomic symbols. To verify, download www.xdb1.com/example/ex076.asp and compare execution time with Hugo's solutions posted in OT.

Case1: God is the parent of an unnamed person. God is also the parent of second person with three names (string 'john', integer 100, decimal 3.14).

Case2: john isa person. john's color is brown. mary isa person. mary's color is brown. brown is a person.  

As shown by the measurements made below, even when executed on a 5.6 times slower 233 Mhz Pocket PC, XDb1 generated the small common ancestor report nearly twice as fast as Hugo's non-normalized, non-generic SQL Server 2000 Solution running on a 1,300 MHz desktop.
