1. Some websites will have hierarchical display of items. (For eg, on click of a ‘+’ symbol, all items under this item gets listed.). How do you store such structure in database (Note: You can store as XML object. But how do you store in database tables without using XML) ?

You can use the Java script and ID to put this kind of stuff in websites there is no need to store the special datas in database ie no need to combine the database for this.
