About a year and a half ago, there was a book recommendation about this
issue. The book discusses advanced data structures representation with SQL.
Now that PostgreSQL has subqueries and unions, it becomes more relevant.
The book was:
Joe Celko's
SQL for Smarties
Advanced SQL Programming
The publisher:
Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Inc
340 Pine St 6th Floor
San Francisco CA 94104-33205
USA
415-392-2665

The original poster of this recommendation was Terry Harple, and it was on
the (now defunct) QUESTIONS list.
