Hi,

I've been kicking this around today and I can't think of a way to solve 
my problem in "pure SQL" (i.e. I can only do it with a 
looping/cursor-type solution and some variables).

Given a table with this DDL/data script:

drop table if exists dummy;
create table dummy (  id integer primary key,  name varchar(255),  fkey_id integer  )
;
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502163,'3Br/3Ba Pool 
Villa in Westin St. John, USVI- Summer 2008',500100);
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502164,'3Br/3Ba Pool 
Villa in Westin St. John, USVI- Summer 2008',500100);
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502169,'Lazy Bear 
Lodge',105);
-- not sequential id to previous
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502199,'Lazy Bear 
Lodge',105);
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502170,'3 Bed, 1 Bath 
Cottage Less Than a Mile from West Dennis Beach',500089);
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502171,'3 Bed, 1 Bath 
Cottage Less Than a Mile from West Dennis Beach',500089);
-- not sequential id nor duplicate fkey_id to previous
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502175,'3 Bed, 1 Bath 
Cottage Less Than a Mile from West Dennis Beach',500102);
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502213,'Sea 
Watch',500128);
-- not duplicate fkey_id to previous
insert into dummy (id, name, fkey_id) values (502214,'Sea 
Watch',500130);

Find all instances where * name is duplicated * fkey_id is the same (for the any set of duplicated name fields) * id is
sequential(for any set of duplicated name fields)
 

The system should return

502163
502164
502170
502171

Here's as far as I got:

select id
from dummy
where
name in (  select name from dummy  group by name  having count(name)>1
)
order by id

I can't figure out how to test for duplicate fkey_id when name is the 
same, nor to test for sequential id's when name is the same.

Having a method for either would be great, and both would be a bonus!

It seems like there's a clever way to do this without cursors but I 
can't figure it out!

Thanks for any help!

Steve
