还有另一种解决方案:

DELETE t1 FROM my_table t1, my_table t2 WHERE t1.id < t2.id AND t1.my_field = t2.my_field AND t1.my_field_2 = t2.my_field_2 AND ...

为了复制具有唯一列的记录，例如COL1,COL2, COL3不应该被复制(假设我们在表结构中遗漏了3个唯一列，并且在表中添加了多个重复项)

DROP TABLE TABLE_NAME_copy;
CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME_copy LIKE TABLE_NAME;
INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME_copy
SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME
GROUP BY COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3; 
DROP TABLE TABLE_NAME;
ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME_copy RENAME TO TABLE_NAME;

希望将有助于开发。

我有这个查询片段的SQLServer，但我认为它可以用在其他DBMS与小的变化:

DELETE
FROM Table
WHERE Table.idTable IN  (  
    SELECT MAX(idTable)
    FROM idTable
    GROUP BY field1, field2, field3
    HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)

我忘了告诉您，这个查询不会删除重复行中id最低的行。如果这对你有用，试试这个查询:

DELETE
FROM jobs
WHERE jobs.id IN  (  
    SELECT MAX(id)
    FROM jobs
    GROUP BY site_id, company, title, location
    HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)

这个解决方案将把重复的数据移到一个表中，唯一的数据移到另一个表中。

-- speed up creating uniques table if dealing with many rows
CREATE INDEX temp_idx ON jobs(site_id, company, title, location);

-- create the table with unique rows
INSERT jobs_uniques SELECT * FROM
    (
    SELECT * 
    FROM jobs
    GROUP BY site_id, company, title, location
    HAVING count(1) > 1
    UNION
    SELECT *
    FROM jobs
    GROUP BY site_id, company, title, location
    HAVING count(1) = 1
) x

-- create the table with duplicate rows
INSERT jobs_dupes 
SELECT * 
FROM jobs
WHERE id NOT IN
(SELECT id FROM jobs_uniques)

-- confirm the difference between uniques and dupes tables
SELECT COUNT(1)
AS jobs, 
(SELECT COUNT(1) FROM jobs_dupes) + (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM jobs_uniques)
AS sum
FROM jobs

如果不想更改列属性，那么可以使用下面的查询。

因为你有一个列，它有唯一的id(例如，auto_increment列)，你可以用它来删除重复项:

DELETE `a`
FROM
    `jobs` AS `a`,
    `jobs` AS `b`
WHERE
    -- IMPORTANT: Ensures one version remains
    -- Change "ID" to your unique column's name
    `a`.`ID` < `b`.`ID`

    -- Any duplicates you want to check for
    AND (`a`.`title` = `b`.`title` OR `a`.`title` IS NULL AND `b`.`title` IS NULL)
    AND (`a`.`company` = `b`.`company` OR `a`.`company` IS NULL AND `b`.`company` IS NULL)
    AND (`a`.`site_id` = `b`.`site_id` OR `a`.`site_id` IS NULL AND `b`.`site_id` IS NULL);

在MySQL中，你可以用空安全的相等操作符(又名“宇宙飞船操作符”)来简化它:

DELETE `a`
FROM
    `jobs` AS `a`,
    `jobs` AS `b`
WHERE
    -- IMPORTANT: Ensures one version remains
    -- Change "ID" to your unique column's name
    `a`.`ID` < `b`.`ID`

    -- Any duplicates you want to check for
    AND `a`.`title` <=> `b`.`title`
    AND `a`.`company` <=> `b`.`company`
    AND `a`.`site_id` <=> `b`.`site_id`;

我必须对文本字段执行此操作，并且遇到了索引上100字节的限制。

我通过添加一个列来解决这个问题，对字段进行md5哈希，并进行更改。

ALTER TABLE table ADD `merged` VARCHAR( 40 ) NOT NULL ;
UPDATE TABLE SET merged` = MD5(CONCAT(`col1`, `col2`, `col3`))
ALTER IGNORE TABLE table ADD UNIQUE INDEX idx_name (`merged`);
