Wallace writes "I have a database table to store a hierarchical tree structure, like the directory structure in C drive.

CREATE TABLE tblFolders(
ID INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(100),
ParentID INT
);

My questions:
1. Is it posible to use only a single database call to retrieve the tree, given the ID of the leaf node?
2. Is there a more efficient way to design the database to store this kind of structure?"
