Обсуждение: how to look for duplicate rows?
i have to clean a table that looks like so: create table test (sn integer, fname varchar(10), lname varchar(10)); insert into test values (1, 'adam', 'lambert'); insert into test values (2, 'john', 'mayer'); insert into test values (3, 'john', 'mayer'); insert into test values (4, 'mary', 'kay'); insert into test values (5, 'john', 'mayer'); insert into test values (6, 'susan', 'boyle'); insert into test values (7, 'susan', 'boyle'); insert into test values (8, 'mark', 'ingram'); for that, i need to run a query that returns like so: result: is_not_distinct 2, 3, 5 6, 7 using 8.1.

select distinct a.* from test a, test b where a.fname = b.fname
and a.lname=b.lname
and a.sn <> b.sn
