I am not quite sure whether this is what you are thinking about:
create table tree (
id int4,
parentid int4,
data text)
A structure like
a
|__b
|__c
can be achieved by
insert into tree (id, parentid, data) values (1, NULL, 'a');
insert into tree (id, parentid, data) values (2, 1, 'b');
insert into tree (id, parentid, data) values (3, 1, 'c');
Probably you'll also want to use a sequence for the ids, and to
declare indices on id, parentid etc.
