Hur reparerar man ett skadat MPTT-träd (kapslat set) i databasen med SQL?

Här är vad jag har anpassat från @Lievens svar, med feedback från här för bättre prestanda:

Fungerade bra med vissa testdata, men det körs fortfarande på mitt träd för 100 000 poster, så jag kan inte ge någon slutgiltig bedömning än. Det naiva skriptet som arbetar direkt på det fysiska bordet har urusla prestanda, körs i minst timmar, mer sannolikt dagar. Att byta till en tillfällig MEMORY-tabell minskade den här tiden till ungefär en timme, genom att välja rätt index minskade den till 10 minuter.
