ABSTRACT:
A system that allows a user to describe a tree or a set of trees in a table, and the system automatically generates a data structure corresponding to the tree or the set of trees in memory in accordance with the description. The system interprets a table with one or more columns wherein each of the node attributes given to a node are entered, allocates a memory area to each of the nodes, sets data on the attributes given to the node, and generates pointer data indicating the connections of the memory areas. The hierarchy of the nodes and the sequence of nodes linked immediately below the same node are determined on the basis of the sequence of rows corresponding to the nodes and levels assigned to the nodes in the table.
