SQL - Binary Search Tree

Problem Statement
You are given a table, BST, containing two columns: and P, where N represents the value of a node in BST, and P is the parent of N.
Write a query to find the node type of BST ordered by the value of the node. Output one of the following for each node:
·         Root: If node is root node.
·         Leaf: If node is leaf node.
·         Inner: If node is neither root nor leaf node.
Sample Input

                N          P
1 2
3 2
6 8
9 8
2 5
8 5
5         null
Sample Output
1 Leaf
2 Inner
3 Leaf
5 Root
6 Leaf
8 Inner
9 Leaf

Explanation
The BST below illustrates the sample:


Query 
select  N,
case
  when P is null then 'Root'
  else
      decode((Select count(1)
              from BST
              Where N!=b.N
              connect by prior N=P
              start with N=b.N),0,'Leaf','Inner')
end "Leaf V"

from    BST b order by 1;


Your Output (stdout)
1 Leaf 
2 Inner 
3 Leaf 
4 Inner 
5 Leaf 
6 Inner 
7 Leaf 
8 Leaf 
9 Inner 
10 Leaf 
11 Inner 
12 Leaf 
13 Inner 
14 Leaf 
15 Root

How to remove duplicate rows without using DISTINCT or ROWID or GROUP BY methods in Oracle?

Make use of SET operators and CTAS (Create Table AS) method.. Example: Create table tmp_tb1 as Select * from table1 intersect Select * from table1; truncate table table1; insert into table1 select * from tmp_tb1; -- This will now have removed all duplicates in the table... commit; *** You can use UNION operator in place of INTERSECT
