Hvordan reparerer man et beskadiget MPTT-træ (indlejret sæt) i databasen ved hjælp af SQL?

Her er, hvad jeg har tilpasset fra @Lievens svar, inkorporeret feedback fra her for bedre ydeevne:

Fungerede godt med nogle testdata, men det kører stadig på mit træ med 100.000 poster, så jeg kan ikke give nogen endelig bedømmelse endnu. Det naive script, der arbejder direkte på det fysiske bord, har en afgrundsdyb ydeevne, kører i mindst timer, mere sandsynligt dage. Skift til en midlertidig MEMORY-tabel bragte denne tid ned til ca. en time, ved at vælge de rigtige indekser reducerede den til 10 minutter.
