I have a table that our distributor sent us. The table doesn't have any keys. It does, however, have 7,782 duplicate records. I found this out when I tried to have MySQL make a unique product ID by combining 2 fields of each record.

Here's what I need to know...

Is there a MySQL command that will reveal duplicate entries in a table, and find them by looking at just 2 fields??? I'm trying to create a primary key in the new table by combining 2 fields together (Vendor and ID).

Sample data format:

+======================+
| ImportTable          |
+======================+
| Vendor | ID  | Price |
+--------+-----+-------+
| AAD    | 1   | $9.98 |
| AAD    | 1   | $3.98 |
| AAD    | 52  | $9.98 |
| BCD    | 2   | $8.98 |
| BCD    | 5   | $8.98 |
| CSX    | 44  | $7.98 |
+--------+-----+-------+

I'd like something that will identify 'AAD 1' as a duplicate, even though their Prices are different.

Thanks!!
