Sorry I jumped the gun, didn't realize it was a delete. The problem is that
GROUP BY does not work with DELETE. You can try this:
DELETE FROM where id IN (SELECT id from GROUP BY id HAVING
COUNT(*) > 1);
Not sure whether this will work though. You can always use a temp table for
this purpose although that is not so appealing as doing it in one query
CREATE TABLE tmp LIKE ;
INSERT INTO tmp SELECT * from GROUP BY id HAVING COUNT(*) = 1;
DROP TABLE ;
RENAME TABLE tmp TO ;
Thanks
