Just posted Phil Waclawski's presentation on Using Hierarchical Data in
MySQL, Trees vs Nests that he gave to the Phoenix Linux Users Group on
April 13th

Real world data is often made of hierarchical relationships, or "trees".
Representing that data in a Relational Database starts to get
complicated as soon as you have more than two levels in your "Tree".
There are many strategies for handling such data, and I will cover
examples of at least two of them (adjacency list and nested sets) and
possibly more.
If you have access to a mysql instance, you can create the test tables
and follow along, or get the code later.
