What is a tree-structured database?
The Paglo Crawler collects information about your network assets and sends it to the Search Index, which stores the data in a semi-structured tree format. The data is visually represented in an inverted tree structure with the root at the top, and each data element as a node on the tree. In the tree structure, information is organized below the root along major branches, which can further separate into branches or sub-trees, leaves, and so on. Any individual node on the tree that has nodes below it can be thought of as a root of its own sub-branches, or as a sub-tree, or as a leaf or branch of a higher-level root. The tree-structured database is useful because it provides the flexibility to scale and the ability to group related information and display the relationships. The nodes in a tree-structured database are similar to records and columns in the table of a relational database.
