As is often the case on mailing lists, I think that we have lost some
context. Steve has described a paradigm for *representing* tables as
trees. That paradigm must still be *implemented*. Michael's original
question was about implementation strategies. I don't know of an
implementation strategy that overcomes the basic impedence mismatch
between relational data and tree data.

If you spend any time administering Windows NT, you're far too familiar 
with the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which displays the cause of the 
crash and gives some information about the state of the system when 
it crashed.  -- "Microsoft Developer Network Magazine"
