I have a MySQL table like:
ID, Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4, etc...
ID is a primary key and has been working since the table's creation.
What I want to do is delete all but one records where all the other columns are identical.
解决方案DELETE DupRows.*
FROM MyTable AS DupRows
INNER JOIN (
SELECT MIN(ID) AS minId, col1, col2
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY col1, col2
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
) AS SaveRows ON SaveRows.col1 = DupRows.col1 AND SaveRows.col2 = DupRows.col2
AND SaveRows.minId <> DupRows.ID;
Of course you have to extend col1, col2 in all three places to all columns.
Edit: I just pulled this out of a script I keep and re-tested, it executes in MySQL.
