"""Illustrates an explicit way to persist an XML document expressed using ElementTree.
Each DOM node is stored in an individual
table row, with attributes represented in a separate table. The
nodes are associated in a hierarchy using an adjacency list
structure. A query function is introduced which can search for nodes
along any path with a given structure of attributes, basically a
(very narrow) subset of xpath.
This example explicitly marshals/unmarshals the ElementTree document into
mapped entities which have their own tables. Compare to pickle.py which
uses pickle to accomplish the same task. Note that the usage of both
styles of persistence are identical, as is the structure of the main Document class.
