SQL / Mysql - How to find and count duplicates
by Andreas Glaser on Oct.22, 2008, under Computer, Development, SQL
Some developers facing the problem of duplicates in sql/mysql tables. To find and count them use the following statement.
1 2 3 4 | SELECT ID, count(*) as Amount FROM name_of_the_table GROUP BY ID HAVING Amount > 1 |
Just replace the used table “name_of_the_table” and the column “ID” which is inspected for duplicates. The output shows you the record which is multiple times in the table and the amount of it.
So long,
