方法1:
1、创建一个临时表,选取需要的数据。
2、清空原表。
3、临时表数据导入到原表。
4、删除临时表。
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 12 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 14 | bb |
| 15 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
6 rows in set
mysql> create temporary table temp as select min(id),name from student group by name;
Query OK, 3 rows affected
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> truncate table student;
Query OK, 0 rows affected
mysql> insert into student select * from temp;
Query OK, 3 rows affected
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
3 rows in set
mysql> drop temporary table temp;
Query OK, 0 rows affected
这个方法,显然存在效率问题。
方法2:按name分组,把最小的id保存到临时表,删除id不在最小id集合的记录,如下:
mysql> create temporary table temp as select min(id) as MINID from student group by name;
Query OK, 3 rows affected
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> delete from student where id not in (select minid from temp);
Query OK, 3 rows affected
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
3 rows in set
方法3:直接在原表上操作,容易想到的sql语句如下:
mysql> delete from student where id not in (select min(id) from student group by name);
执行报错:1093 - You can't specify target table 'student' for update in FROM clause
原因是:更新数据时使用了查询,而查询的数据又做了更新的条件,mysql不支持这种方式。
怎么规避这个问题?
再加一层封装,如下:
mysql> delete from student where id not in (select minid from (select min(id) as minid from student group by name) b);
Query OK, 3 rows affected
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
3 rows in set

首先一个, 没看出来你为什么需要第一个in 子查询;
第二个, "You can't specify target table 'x' for update in FROM clause"
-- 不能 更新表的 同时, 在子查询里 select同样的表.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/subquery-errors.html
给出sql, 注意去重的话, 我们只需group by再取最小id即可, 不需要 having count(*)>1, 切切:
delete B
from bt_ask_to_cate_backup B,
(SELECT min(id) id
FROM bt_ask_to_cate_backup
group by ask_id,cate
) T
where B.id <> T.id;
不对以上sql造成后果负责! 注意备份!
