I have a table where data is organized into multiple levels. I have the need to pass into a procedure the lowest level and lookup the parent level to the top of the hierarchy. The data looks like this...

PK LEVEL NAME PARENT
45 100 USA
46 200 WA 45
47 200 CA 45
48 300 Sea 46
49 300 LA 47

I need to be able to output something like this:
Sea/WA/USA

Is there a way to do this using multiple cursors or a loop?

Any help is greatly appreciated...
