<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django-treebeard</span></tt> is a library that implements efficient tree
implementations for the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.djangoproject.com/">Django Web Framework 1.0+</a>. It includes 3 different tree
implementations: Adjacency List, Materialized Path and Nested Sets. Each
one has it&#8217;s own strength and weaknesses (see
<a class="reference external" href="#module-tbbench">Benchmarks</a>) but share the same
API, so it&#8217;s easy to switch between implementations.</p>

<li>Add <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'treebeard'</span></tt> to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">INSTALLED_APPS</span></tt> section in your django

<li>Create a new model that inherits from one of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django-treebeard</span></tt>&#8216;s

<p>This is an efficient implementation of Materialized Path
trees for Django 1.0+, as described by <a class="reference external" href="http://vadimtropashko.wordpress.com/">Vadim Tropashko</a> in <a class="reference external" href="http://www.rampant-books.com/book_2006_1_sql_coding_styles.htm">SQL Design
Patterns</a>. Materialized Path is probably the fastest way of working with
trees in SQL without the need of extra work in the database, like Oracle&#8217;s
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CONNECT</span> <span class="pre">BY</span></tt> or sprocs and triggers for nested intervals.</p>
<p>In a materialized path approach, every node in the tree will have a
<a title="treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.path" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.path"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">path</span></tt></a> attribute, where the full path from the root
to the node will be stored. This has the advantage of needing very simple
and fast queries, at the risk of inconsistency because of the
denormalization of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">parent</span></tt>/<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">child</span></tt> foreign keys. This can be prevented
with transactions.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django-treebeard</span></tt> uses a particular approach: every step in the path has
a fixed width and has no separators. This makes queries predictable and
faster at the cost of using more characters to store a step. To address
this problem, every step number is encoded.</p>
<p>Also, two extra fields are stored in every node:
<a title="treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.depth" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.depth"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">depth</span></tt></a> and <a title="treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.numchild" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.numchild"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">numchild</span></tt></a>.
This makes the read operations faster, at the cost of a little more
maintenance on tree updates/inserts/deletes. Don&#8217;t worry, even with these
extra steps, materialized path is more efficient than other approaches.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The materialized path approach makes heavy use of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LIKE</span></tt> in your
database, with clauses like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">WHERE</span> <span class="pre">path</span> <span class="pre">LIKE</span> <span class="pre">'002003%'</span></tt>. If you think
that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LIKE</span></tt> is too slow, you&#8217;re right, but in this case the
<a title="treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.path" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node.path"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">path</span></tt></a> field is indexed in the database, and all
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">LIKE</span></tt> clauses that don&#8217;t <strong>start</strong> with a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">%</span></tt> character will use
the index. This is what makes the materialized path approach so fast.</p>

<p class="last">For performance, and if your database allows it, you can safely
define the path column as ASCII (not utf-8/unicode/iso8859-1/etc) to
keep the index smaller (and faster). Also note that some databases
(mysql) have a small index size limit. InnoDB for instance has a
limit of 765 bytes per index, so that would be the limit if your path
is ASCII encoded. If your path column in InnoDB is using unicode,
the index limit will be 255 characters since in MySQL&#8217;s indexes,
unicode means 3 bytes.</p>

<p>This is a simple implementation of the traditional Adjacency List Model for
storing trees in relational databases.</p>
<p>In the adjacency list model, every node will have a
&#8220;<a title="treebeard.al_tree.AL_Node.parent" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.al_tree.AL_Node.parent"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">parent</span></tt></a>&#8221; key, that will be NULL for root nodes.</p>
<p>Since <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">django-treebeard</span></tt> must return trees ordered in a predictable way,
the ordering for models without the <a title="treebeard.al_tree.AL_Node.node_order_by" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.al_tree.AL_Node.node_order_by"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">node_order_by</span></tt></a>
attribute will have an extra attribute that will store the relative
position of a node between it&#8217;s siblings: <a title="treebeard.al_tree.AL_Node.sib_order" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.al_tree.AL_Node.sib_order"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sib_order</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>The adjacency list model has the advantage of fast writes at the cost of
slow reads. If you read more than you write, use
<a title="treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node" class="reference internal" href="#treebeard.mp_tree.MP_Node"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">MP_Node</span></tt></a> instead.</p>

<p>tbbench is a django app that isn&#8217;t installed by default. I wrote it to find
spots that could be optimized, and it may help you to tweak your database
settings.</p>
<p>To run the benchmarks:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Add <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tbbench</span></tt> to your Python path</li>
<li>Add <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'tbbench'</span></tt> to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">INSTALLED_APPS</span></tt> section in your django
settings file.</li>
<li>Run <strong>python manage.py syncdb</strong></li>
<li>In the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tbbench</span></tt> dir, run <strong>python run.py</strong></li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">If the <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/django-mptt/">django-mptt</a> package is also installed, both libraries will
be tested with the exact same data and operations.</p>
</div>
<p>Currently, the available tests are:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Inserts: adds 1000 nodes to a tree, in different places: root
nodes, normal nodes, leaf nodes</li>
<li>Descendants: retrieves the full branch under every node several times.</li>
<li>Move: moves nodes several times. This operation can be expensive
because involves reodrering and data maintenance.</li>
<li>Delete: Removes groups of nodes.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>For every available library (treebeard and mptt), two models are tested: a
vanilla model, and a model with a &#8220;tree order by&#8221; attribute enabled
(<tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">node_order_by</span></tt> in treebeard,
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">order_insertion_by</span></tt> in mptt).</p>
<p>Also, every test will be tested with and without database transactions
(<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tx</span></tt>).</p>
<p>The output of the script is a reST table, with the time for every test in
milliseconds (so small numbers are better).</p>
<p>By default, these tests use the default tables created by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">syncdb</span></tt>. Even
when the results of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">treebeard</span></tt> are good, they can be improved <em>a lot</em>
with better indexing. The Materialized Path Tree approach used by
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">treebeard</span></tt> is <em>very</em> sensitive to database indexing, so you&#8217;ll
probably want to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EXPLAIN</span></tt> your most common queries involving the
<tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">path</span></tt> field and add proper indexes.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
