examples.elementtree.adjacency_list

"""
Illustrates an explicit way to persist an XML document expressed using
ElementTree.

Each DOM node is stored in an individual
table row, with attributes   represented in a separate table.  The
nodes are associated in a hierarchy using an adjacency list
structure.  A query function is introduced which can search for nodes
along any path with a given   structure of attributes, basically a
(very narrow) subset of xpath.

This example explicitly marshals/unmarshals the ElementTree document into
mapped entities which have their own tables.  Compare to pickle_type.py which
uses PickleType to accomplish the same task.  Note that the usage of both
styles of persistence are identical, as is the structure of the main Document
class.
