Best query for a path or parts thereof

Hi,

I want to search for my current directory or parents of my directory.
So if my path is, http://www.example.com/patha/pathb/

my path is '/patha/pathb/'

I could do
SELECT * FORM TABLE A WHERE path='/patha/pathb/'
SELECT * FORM TABLE A WHERE path='/patha/'

or even

SELECT * FORM TABLE A WHERE path='/patha/pathb/' OR path='/patha/'

but I was wondering if there was a better, more efficient way of doing
it?
How would you design the table for such a path?

The 'path' is unique and there is only ever one of each, (but there
could be an entry for '/patha/pathb/' and '/patha/'

Thanks

FFMG
