Jonathan,

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do..

Do you want to identify the entries in the table where the email addresses
are the same as another entry but the name and address details differ...
or.. do you want to find entries where the name and address information is
the same but email addresses differ?

Subject: Weeding out duplicates


I am trying to get rid of duplicate user info entries in a database.  I
am assuming that the email address is unique but other information, like
first name, last name, address, etc are not.  The "email" field is not a
unique field in the database.  I was trying something like the
following, but not getting what I wanted.

select distinct u1.id,u1.firstname,u1.lastname,u1.email from Users u1,
Users u2 where u1.email=u2.email;

How can I go about identifying the duplicate entries of email addresses?

Thank you,
Jonathan Duncan
