Hi, Once again its me. I have a table with 18000 records. There are three fields say field1, field2 and field3. There are no primary keys at the moment.
I want to delegate field1 as the primary key in the modified table. When I try to create field1 as the primary key, an error is generated as there are duplicate values in the records in field1. How do I find which values are duplicate in field1. I cannot use the Find and replace function as I do not know which values to look for. Also manually it is impossible as there are too many records to search through. Is there a Cold Fusion custom tag or function or SQL syntax I can use? Any help will be much appreciated.
