I've look for a solution to this, but have only been able to find
solutions to delete duplicate entries in a table by deleting entries not
returned by SELECT DISTINCT.
What sql should I use to SELECT entries in a table that have two
particular column values that match?
For example, my_table has
name, phone number, identification_number, zip code, date of birth, and city
I want to SELECT rows from this table that have the same values in
identification and date of birth (duplicates) so I can have the user
look at them in order to figure out which one to delete.
I tried something like:
$db_sql = "SELECT * FROM my_table GROUP BY identification_number
HAVING count(date_of_birth) > 1 ORDER BY name"
but that doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Bruce
