The parents of any node to the root, i.e. the path of any node to the root are 
depicted as
parents[0] : immediate parent
parents[1] : immediate parent of the above parent
.....
parents[n] : root of the tree

what this schema gives?

(1) the parent branch in one select.
what else?
nothing.

compare it to a nested-tree

   id      | integer   | NOT NULL
   name    | text      | not null
   parent  | integer   |
   l       | numeric
   r       | numeric

(1) parent branch in one select
(2) child subtree in one select
(it makes a sence!)
