No, I haven't tried using PostgreSQL.. I'm bound to an existing mysql 
server, so that's the sql-test* test suite I loaded, from the mysql dir.

I will try the add_proc per your suggestion.

Incidentally, one could image all hierarchal data being stored in as 
little as one rdbms table (or two/three for storing schema and OID 
mappings), since there is already a field for the member's parent.. This 
also seems like a more simplified approach (vs the object<-->table model 
that the sample data seemed to create). Is there a way to achieve this 
currently?

Thanks again,
