Title of the book is: "Joe Celko's Trees and Hierarchies in SQL for Smarties". This book covers topics such as representing trees and hierarchies, hierarchical encoding schemes, graphs, binary trees, and several related topics. From my initial scan, it appears that this book would be valuable in gaining insight on how to solve knotty "exploded parts" and "Generation Breakdown List" type applications. (I know people on this list have occasionally posted queries asking how to program these type applications.) NOTE: This is NOT a "beginners" SQL book. Here's a link to the book on Amazon.com (watch the wrap): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1558609202/qid=1085538624/sr=1 -1/ref=sr_1_1/104-5510817-7703934?v=glance&s=books This book is not cheap ($34.95) but if you have to program these type applications, this book is probably worth its weight in gold.
