Hi there ! I wonder what is the best way to index / query a dynamic hierarchy... For example : - Company \> Department \> Services \> Persons - Company \> Department \> Department \> Services \> Persons - Company \> Department \> Department \> Services \> Services \> Persons - etc...

The way that you should model your data typically depends on the kind of queries that you need to run. Maybe you can tell us more about queries?
