Im creating a Project with a QTreeView and i later want to save my created TreeView. Which Options i have? Maybe Serialization, but i dont know which Datatype i need for this way. A Database will be an other Option, but i dont know how to realize that. Anynone has some good Tipps?

I would recommend a format that is designed for hierachical data, e.g. JSON or XML.

I was thinking about Databases. Is there any Tutorial where somebody explains how i do that with Databases? I read somewhere that it is possible to bind the Tree to a SQL Model, but i dont find something about it in the Internet.

Well, a database is inherently table oriented, so storing a tree will need some form of parent/child relation information and code that uses that to build a tree from the "flat" database data.
