Hi I am completely new to SQL so forgive me! I am trying to work out how best to organise data.

The purpose of the data is to provide company details (company addresses and cost per product)

What is the best way to organise this? My programmer building the site (using SQL) has suggested this format:

category1

subcategory1

sub subcategory1A
sub subcategory1b
sub subcategory1c

--------

Before I ramble on too much - can anyone suggest a good tip to organise the data? Is the 'category' the major feature that makes the data unique?

Any tips and suggestion very welcomed - thanks.
