Designing Database Table for Navigation Menu

Jun 22 2015 7:26 AM
Hi i have been working on a online shopping project for gifts .
 
My Navigation menu has 3 Levels like this : 
 Parent Menu ==> Child Menu ==> Child Sub Menu .
Reference Image Attached. 
 
 
i have to get all these values from the database table in a hierarchy, i was thinking to design the database table in such a way that request time for fetching menu data from table is minimal.
 
my idea is to design a table name navigation_menu with following parameters : id(as menu id),Menu_Name,Parent_id
 
 id(Parent Menu id) Menu_NameParent_id 
 0 BIRTHDAY-
 1 OCASSIONS-
 2 GIFTS-
 3 SPECIAL -
 4 CAKES 0
 5 OFFERS 1
 6 GIFTS 0
 7 SPECIAL CAKE 4
 8 PHOTO CAKE 4
 
Or can i design the database in a better way to fetch the data more faster (Suggestions required).
