The first col is the family id and the second is the mother family id.
I would get a list of all families that are never in the col n°2, so
the families that aren't node but leaf.
The query, i made was "SELECT * FROM famille WHERE famille_code NOT IN
(SELECT DISTINCT famille_mere_famille_code FROM famille);"
But the DB returns 0 records instead of 15. If i use a list instead of a
subquery it works normaly but it's not easy to manage it like this.
So if anyone can help me please ...
