Solution
Approach I: Using GROUP BY and a temporary table [Accepted]
Algorithm
Duplicated emails existed more than one time. To count the times each email exists, we can use the following code.
select Email, count(Email) as num
from Person
group by Email;
num | |
---|---|
a@b.com | 2 |
c@d.com | 1 |
Taking this as a temporary table, we can get a solution as below.
select Email from
(
select Email, count(Email) as num
from Person
group by Email
) as statistic
where num > 1
;
Approach II: Using GROUP BY and HAVING condition [Accepted]
A more common used way to add a condition to a GROUP BY is to use the HAVING clause, which is much simpler and more efficient.
select Email
from Person
group by Email
having count(Email) > 1;
