Robert Treat and I came up with a better way to move
nodes from one branch to another inside of a nested tree:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION move_tree (integer, integer) RETURNS text
AS '
-- Moves part of a nested set tree to another part.
-- Pass in the left of the child (from) and the left of the parent (to)
DECLARE
cleft INTEGER; cright INTEGER;
pleft INTEGER; pright INTEGER;
leftbound INTEGER; rightbound INTEGER;
treeshift INTEGER; cwidth INTEGER;
leftrange INTEGER; rightrange INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- Self-move makes no sense
IF $1 = $2 THEN
RETURN ''Cannot move: entries are identical'';
END IF;
SELECT lft, rgt FROM tree WHERE lft = $1 INTO cleft, cright;
SELECT lft, rgt FROM tree WHERE lft = $2 INTO pleft, pright;
-- Make sure the child exists
IF cleft IS NULL THEN
RETURN ''No entry found with an left of ''||$1;
END IF;
-- Make sure the parent exists
IF pleft IS NULL THEN
RETURN ''No entry found with a left of ''||$2;
END IF;
-- Parent cannot be underneath the child
IF pleft BETWEEN cleft AND cright THEN
RETURN ''Cannot move: first entry contains second'';
END IF;
-- Child may already be in the proper place
IF cleft = pleft+1 THEN
RETURN ''No changes need to be made'';
END IF;
IF cleft > pleft THEN
treeshift := pleft - cleft + 1;
leftbound := pleft+1;
rightbound := cleft-1;
cwidth := cright-cleft+1;
leftrange := cright;
rightrange := pleft;
ELSE
treeshift := pleft - cright;
leftbound := cright + 1;
rightbound := pleft;
cwidth := cleft-cright-1;
leftrange := pleft+1;
rightrange := cleft;
END IF;
UPDATE tree
SET lft = CASE
WHEN lft BETWEEN leftbound AND rightbound THEN lft + cwidth
WHEN lft BETWEEN cleft AND cright THEN lft + treeshift
ELSE lft END,
rgt = CASE
WHEN rgt BETWEEN leftbound AND rightbound THEN rgt + cwidth
WHEN rgt BETWEEN cleft AND cright THEN rgt + treeshift
ELSE rgt END
WHERE lft < leftrange OR rgt > rightrange;
RETURN ''Tree has been moved'';
END;
'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
