Hi!
I know I'm butting in and I'll admit I can't follow exactly what the
discussion has been, but it seems (to me at least) to be related to an
article I recently read (following a link on Mark Pilgrim's site
diveintomark.org:
Storing Hierarchical Data in a Database by Gijs Van Tulder
<http://www.sitepoint.com/article/1105/1>
The further readings suggested at the end of the article were helpful
to me as well.
If it's not helpful, sorry for the interruption! I'll go back to
lurking now.
