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.
