Robert,

Please check here.
very interesting,

now I wonder, how are parent_left and parent_rigth set, when a new category record is created.
I see, that whenever I create a new category, the values of the existing ones are adapted.

However greping the source, I did not find the piece of code, where the calculation of the new values is done.

Hi there,

in my quest to mass import partners I need to generate categories.
This I can to using an sql statement like the following:
statement = "INSERT INTO res_partner_category (id, name, active, parent_id) 
VALUES (DEFAULT, '%s', 't', %s) RETURNING id" % (name, pid)

however, when I look at the database structure of res_partner_category, i find 
that there are the two fields: parent_left and parent_rigth
What are they for?
And more importantly: what values should they have?

thanks
robert
