Re: Deleting the duplicate values in a column

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
