We have a nested set design in our database.
The design allows multiple instances of nodes in the hierarchy. Each node has a combination of node name and its instance id as the primary key. We also maintain a unique_qty column that has the unique number of nodes below a particular node. This unique qty basically ignores the multiple instances of nodes below it and counts only the distinct node names(ignoring their instance ids).
the problem that im facing is...how do i update the unique_qty when i perform any move in the tree.
Thanks in advance,
