I have a table wherein one column is SUPPOSED to be unique but I
strongly suspect isn't. Because I had this suspicion, I did not apply
a unique index to the column. Assuming there are no null values in
that column how would I find the instances of non-unique values? If I
try to alter table add unique... will it abort if the values are
non-unique, or will it drop the non-unique rows? (MyISAM tables).
There is a valid primary key on the table but (obviously) it does not
include the column in question.
Also, as this is really a SQL question (I think), is there a good
mailing list, forum, or web site devoted to SQL questions --
particularly the dialect of SQL spoken by MySQL?
Thanks.
Randy
