Hi,
This statement will get you the userid and the number of times it is
duplicated. Then it's just a case of inserting the value at the desired
location. Although this does mean that you are either going to have a column
with lots of null values or lots of repeated values...Doesn't really make a
lot of sense either way.
select userid,
count(userid)-1
from user
group by user_id;
Regards,
Kev.

Hi DBA Gurus,
I have a table called user..
It has userid, firstname, lastname, city, address, telephone, email
There are some userid which have been reentered .. I would like to insert a
column called repeats and take the number of times the userid is repeated
How to I go about it
Create table usercheck as (userid, firstname, repeated,lastname, city,
address, telephone, email)
As
Select userid, firstname, count(*) userid as repeated,,lastname, city,
address, telephone, email)
>From user;
Something like this..
For example the userid of Deewaker is 123123 and he as been inserted 5 times
in the table USER the Repeated should give a count of 4.
Please help me.
with warm regards,
