Thread: Best way to store nodes in the database so that its will be easy to create Tree.

Dear Friends,


Fields Created in the table are

Key | Name | Parent
--------------------------------------
101 | Computer |
102 | Software | 101
103 | Harware | 101
104 | Java | 102
105 | Ram | 103



Tree will look like

Computer
|
|_____Software
| |
| |______java
|
|_____Hardware
|
|______Ram


I m feeding the table in this format , Its very tedious to develop tree from the structure like this.


Second way i m thinking is


Key | Name | Parent
--------------------------------------
101 | Computer |
102 | Software | 101
103 | Harware | 101
104 | Java | 101\102
105 | Ram | 101\103


Please suggest me some way so that it would be easy to create tree.

and if possible please provide some demo code.

Thank you very much
Its really worthy.

Thanks for the quicker resonse.
