Abstract
A content management system is provided including a plurality of tables forming a tree-based hierarchy for storing information such as item information. An information retrieval interface is provided to facilitate retrieval of information from the tree-based table hierarchy. The number of cursors employed for retrieving information is dynamically variable with the number of tables in the hierarchy. Advantageously, the content management system permits tables to be added or appended to the initial tree-based table hierarchy after the database is created. The number of cursors is dynamically varied to accommodate the additional cursors needed to query the additional table or tables.
