I’m using a tree view object that currently goes 5 levels deep. My boss asked if it can go deeper than that and if so how much. Is there a limit to how deep the tree object hierarchy can go?

You’ll hit limits on the length of any one path in your dataset (roughly 2 billion) and how much memory you have before you hit a limit on depth of the tree. I also suspect you can’t have more than 2 billion nodes, but I didn’t take the time to track that down.
