What: Representing Trees in SQL Server.

Why: Relational databases are universally conceived of as an advance over their predecessors network and hierarchical models. Superior in every querying respect, they turned out to be surprisingly incomplete when modeling transitive dependencies. Almost every couple of months a question about how to model a tree in the database pops up. I will be covering a few ways this can be handled, so you don't bring down your SQL Server, especially when you are trying to traverse the nodes of large trees, including, how this will be done in SQL Server 2005.
