Hi Bryan
check out the PDF files at
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Graeme_Birchall/HTM_COOK.HTM
The "SQL Cookbook" that this guy writes is oriented towards IBM's DB2
database, however, he does talk about a number of different ways of handling
parent-child relationships in an SQL table; his versions are able to be
nested as well.
Actually, this guy seems to know his stuff when it comes to SQL, so it is
probably worth having a look at anyways...thus I have also posted this
response to the list.
Cordially
