Can Oracle save a tree?

The company I work for makes reports for other companies, based on geography, states, districts, etc. and the companies can vary from a one location shop, to a multinational with thousands of branch offices.

Needless to say, the most natural way to store this is in a tree data structure. I have already done that at the Java-GUI front end, but I was wondering how to do it in the database.

I realize that anything can be flattened to a relational table, but I understand that now Oracle has other non-traditional ways of storing data.

So, is it possible to save a tree in Oracle?
