First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing system comprising:
- a storage device storing a table, the table comprising a plurality of rows and at least one column, each of the plurality of rows associated with a node of a hierarchy, and one of the at least one columns implicity representing a position of a row'"'"'s associated node within the hierarchy;
a memory storing processor-executable program code; and
a processor to execute the processor-executable program code in order to cause the computing system to;
receive a Structured Query Language query; and
in response to the query, determine one or more values of the one of the at least one columns, and determine one or more properties of the hierarchy based on the one or more values.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code, the program code executable by a processor of a computing system to cause a computing system to:
-
receive a Structured Query Language query; and in response to the query; determine one or more values of a first column of a stored table comprising a plurality of rows and at least one column, each of the plurality of rows associated with a node of a hierarchy, and a value of the first column of a row implicity representing a position of the row'"'"'s associated node within the hierarchy; and determine one or more properties of the hierarchy based on the one or more values. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
