select * from TABELA where COLUNA in (
     select COLUNA from TABELA group by COLUNA having 1 < count(COLUNA)
     );

This query should retrieve all rows where COLUNA field contains
duplicate values.
Unfortunately, seems it doesn't work on v6.4, but you may
do: select COLUNA from TABELA group by COLUNA having 1 < count(COLUNA)
to display only COLUNA field.

EXAMPLE:

select * from emp;
ename |empno|job       |  hiredate|sal      |comm|deptno|level| mgr
------+-----+----------+----------+---------+----+------+-----+----
ALLEN | 7499|SALESMAN  |1981-02-20|$1,600.00| 300|    20|    4|7782
BLAKE | 7698|MANAGER   |1981-05-01|$2,850.00|    |    30|    3|7782
JONES | 7900|CLERK     |1981-12-03|$950.00  |    |    30|    2|7782
MILLER| 7654|SALESMAN  |1981-09-28|$1,250.00| 400|    30|    3|7839
CLARK | 7844|SALESMAN  |1981-09-08|$1,500.00|    |    10|    2|7839
KING  | 7521|SALESMAN  |1981-02-22|$1,250.00| 500|    10|    1|7782
ALLEN | 7499|SALESMAN  |1981-02-20|$1,600.00| 300|    20|    4|7782
BLAKE | 7698|MANAGER   |1981-05-01|$2,850.00|    |    30|    3|7782
(8 rows)

select ename from emp group by ename having 1 < count(ename);
ename
-----
ALLEN
BLAKE
(2 rows)

        This would work (i believe you) but in my case i'm looking into a table
where there are at least 3 columns to look at!

        It's a table where I keep the information about wich are the
disciplines where a student is enrolled:

        Ex:

numero_aluno|codigo_disciplina|ano_lectivo|epoca|semestre
------------+-----------------+-----------+-----+--------
       10335|             1207|1998/1999  |    1|f
       10335|             1208|1998/1999  |    1|f
       10335|             1209|1998/1999  |    1|f
       10335|             1203|1998/1999  |    1|f
       10335|             1205|1998/1999  |    1|f
       10335|             1212|1998/1999  |    1|f
       10335|             1213|1998/1999  |    1|f
       10335|             1215|1998/1999  |    1|f


In this case there are no duplicates but in this one there are:

numero_aluno|codigo_disciplina|ano_lectivo|epoca|semestre
------------+-----------------+-----------+-----+--------
       13427|               35|1998/1999  |    1|t
       13427|              904|1998/1999  |    1|f
       13427|              122|1998/1999  |    1|t
       13427|              907|1998/1999  |    1|f
       13427|              481|1998/1999  |    1|f
       13427|              286|1998/1999  |    1|t
       13427|              368|1998/1999  |    1|t
       13427|               35|1998/1999  |    1|t
       13427|              904|1998/1999  |    1|f
       13427|              122|1998/1999  |    1|t


So a duplicate is actually a record that looks exactly like other record on the
table...

        Thanks for your help anyway

How about:

select distinct * into newtable from oldtable ;
drop table oldtable;
alter table newtable rename to oldtable;

You have to drop/create indexes separately, even the ones built
implicitly from 'primary key' directives.
