How to repair a corrupted MPTT tree (nested set) i

问题:

I have an MPTT tree of over 100,000 records stored in MySQL using lft, rght and parent_id columns. Now the left/right values became corrupted, while the parent ids are still intact. It would require tons of queries to repair it in the application layer. Is there a good way to put the burden on the database and have it recalculate the left/right values using only SQL?

---

Just to clarify, I need to recalculate the numeric lft/rght values of a nested set, not the ids of neighboring records.

Using SQL Server, following script seems to be working for me.

Worked well with some test data, but it's still running on my 100,000 records tree, so I can't give any final judgement yet. The naïve script working directly on the physical table has abysmal performance, running for at least hours, more likely days. Switching to a temporary MEMORY table brought this time down to about an hour, choosing the right indexes cut it down to 10 mins.

回答3:

You are rescue me!!! I use mixed tree model, so when the day is coming, my tree (30000+) was corrupted. I learn from both of your tech, but is not recovery, just fully rebuild with lost all of sorting and reverse tree... I think, need to keep in mind older cat_left.... Just for possible integrity. So, it maybe looks like...

In all solutions provided, I was getting a problem where MySQL would prompt that it would be Running query for hours but nothing would happen.

I then realized that if I set the lft and rght values to 1 and 2 in the first record of the tmp_tree table (the one with parent_id = 0), everything worked fine. Maybe the procedure needs updating to do this automatically.
