Description: 
        `sqlamp` --- Materialized Path for SQLAlchemy
        =============================================
        
        `sqlamp` is an implementation of an efficient algorithm for working
        with hierarchical data structures --- `Materialized Path`. `sqlamp`
        uses (and depends of) `SQLAlchemy <http://sqlalchemy.org>`_.
        
        `Materialized Path` is a way to store (and fetch) a trees in a relational
        databases. It is the compromise between `Nested Sets` and `Adjacency
        Relations` in respect to simplicity and efficiency. Method was promoted
        by `Vadim Tropashko`_ in his book `SQL Design Patterns`_. Vadim's
        description of the method can be read in his article `Trees in SQL:
        Nested Sets and Materialized Path (by Vadim Tropashko)`_.
        
        Implemented features:
        
        * Saving node roots --- if no parent set for node.
        * Saving child nodes --- if node has some parent. The whole dirty job
        of setting values in utility fields is done by `sqlamp`.
        * Fetching node's descendants, ancestors and children using the most
        efficient way available.
        * Autochecking exhaustion of tree size limits (maximum number of
        children and maximum nesting level) is done during session flush.
        * Rebuilding all trees and any subtree on the basis of Adjacency
        Relations.
        * Collapsing flat tree returned from query to recursive structure.
        
        Moving of nodes is not yet implemented.
        
        Known-to-work supported DBMS include `sqlite`_ (tested with 3.6.14),
        `MySQL`_ (tested using both MyISAM and InnoDB with server version 5.1.34)
        and `PostgreSQL`_ (tested with 8.3.7), but sqlamp should work with any
        other DBMS supported by SQLAlchemy.
