Phillip,
Thanks, interesting post, but the problem is I don't know how many levels
there will be .. there could be 1 or there could be 20 sub levels (gawd I
hope not, but it needs that flexibility).
Your example is a set 1/2/3 .
I may need to re-think the whole setup of the database since t
OK. I did not read your entire email. I assume you are trying to
recursively lookup items. As someone said oracle CONNECT BY can do this
otherwise you might need to to some nested queries.

Paul,
I think you will want something like this. Dave Watts helped me with it
a long time ago.

Hmm.. here is what I have:
department table
id | title | description .
(all departments go into here ..Fishing, Camping, Rods, Spinning ect..)
And
the table below from the original message
Why would I use the sub object table .. So I would stick EVERY department
id in the OWNER table and
you should have 3 tables
an owner table (owner and ownerID)
a sub object table (subobject and subobjectID)
a relationship table (ownwerID and subobjectID are complex primary key )

You might want to take a look at the Nested Tree Model. There's a good
implementation, with details, here:

If you're using Oracle, look up the "CONNECT BY" SQL+ feature. You can
easily draw out trees of parent/child categories.

If not, look into sql self joins. That's a good way of denormalizing
parent/child data in the same table.
