Finding Duplicates
Jul 20, 2005
I have a company table and I would like to write a query that will return to
me any duplicate companies. However, it is a little more complicated then
just matching on exact company names. I would like it to give me duplicates
where x number of letters at the beginning of the company name match AND x
number of letters of the address match AND x number of letters of the city
match. I will be doing this in batches based on the first letter of the
company name. So for example I will first process all companies that start
with the letter "A".
So for all "A" companies I want to find companies where the first 5 letters
in the company name match and the first 5 characters of the address field
match and the first 5 characters of the city match. THANKS!!!

I have a customer database with the following structure:
Dept ID (int)
Section (varchar)
I need to find only occurrences of a section (eg Admin) where the section name has a record in Dept 1,2 and 3 - only return the result if the record for Admin is associated will these depts.
Example Data:
Dept Section
1 Admin
1 Finance
1 Marketing
2 Admin
2 Sales
2 Marketing
3 Admin
3 Sales
3 Finance
The query would only return 'Admin' since this is the only Section that is represented in Departments 1,2 + 3.
I am not in control of the data design and can't create a bitwise field to achieve this.

Steve

I've done a search and I THINK I've got my head round this, but I'd be very grateful if someone could reassure me:
SELECT Email FROM List1 WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT Email FROM List2 WHERE List2.Email= List1.Email
) AND List1.Email <> '44'
That will give me every email address from list one that (a) appears in list two, and (b) isn't '44'. Right?
And to find all the emails from List1 that DON'T occur in List2 (and aren't '44'), I just put "NOT" in front of "EXISTS". Right?
Sorry for asking an obvious question but I'm having a real mental block here. :o

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if any one knows how to find duplicate keys using more than one field. I used the below key to find those people who exists in list1 but don't exists in list2. I realized that the results had some duplicates which was expected but how do I then find all those duplicate people. I know how to do it if there was a primary key present I would have done a count (distinct cardnumber) > 1 and i would have done the select statement like this distinct cardnumber, but how do I do it with more that one key??

I'm trying to find duplicates. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Here's my query:
I'm trying to find only the records where the "Sales_Header_Your_Reference" field is used more then once with a different "Sales Header Document ID" So it looks like this
Sales Header Document ID Sales_Header_Your_Reference
1955718 0002377729
2082721 0002478945
2082728 0002478976
2093598 0002487318
2093599 0002487318
2093601 0002487332
I hope im clear enough, here is my query. I get then listed right, but the count is all wrong, I only want to show the ones , like the one i have highlighted.
Code Block
Select COUNT(Sales_Header_Your_Reference),Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Document_Id,Tbl_Sales_Header.Sales_Header_Your_Reference
FROM dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header
INNER JOIN dbo.Tbl_Sales_Invoice_Header
ON dbo.Tbl_Sales_Header.Customer_Bill_Customer_No = dbo.Tbl_Sales_Invoice_Header.Sales_Invoice_Header_Bill_Customer_No AND

I am trying to move distinct data from one table to another based on two columns regardless of special characters such as : ( ) ; ' " / - _ = >< etc. The two columns that are the defining factors that I need to match as duplicates are Col1 & Col3, the rest I want to get the maximum data from each column for that row (I hope this made sense).
Here is what I have tried, but it does not seem to work:
Code:
select
ID,
Col1,
max(Col2)as Col2,
Col3,
max(Col4)as Col4,
max(Col5)as Col5,
max(Col6)as Col6,
max(Col7)as Col7,
max(Col8)as Col8,
max(Col9)as Col9
where patindex('%[^-:]%',Col1) = 0 AND patindex('%[^-:]%',Col3) = 0
into Newtable
from dbo.CLEANING_bk
group by Col1,Col3
Basically if there are 10 rows of duplicate data based on Col1 & Col3 (regardless of special characters), I want to move the distinct info to a new table with the maximum amount of info from the other columns of the duplicate rows.
If row 3, 4,5, & 6 are all considered duplicate and Row3/Col2 has info in it that row 4 & 5/Col2 does not, I want to combine it with the single row I export to the new table retaining as much information from the rows of the duplicates as possible.
Can anyone help and let me know why my script is not wanting to play nice?

I have two lists of contacts. They're similar. I want a list of all the contacts whose email address occurs only in the first list.
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT EMAIL) FROM List1
returns 13460
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT EMAIL) FROM List2
returns 13220
SELECT EMAIL FROM List1 WHERE EMAIL NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT EMAIL FROM List2)
returns 0 rows
How can it be returning no rows? What am I failing to take into consideration?

Finding and replacing duplicates
I have this project; I am trying to work on but can€™t because of duplicated data in that table.
I tried to make the culume not accept duplicates, but I need to clean it up first and I can just delete them.
Currently the values are 11 digit numbers and I need to replace them with 00000000001
incrementing, making my last one 00000003000
Any idea on where to even begin? I am new to this.
What I am trying to do.
Find replicates numbers in TRAN_DATA
Replace each with a new number but increment the new number starting with 00000000001 and ending with 00000003000
With this I knew I had 3000 plus.
ELECT TRAN_LCTR_NR,
COUNT(TRAN_LCTR_NR) AS NumOccurrences
FROM TRAN_DATA
GROUP BY TRAN_LCTR_NR
HAVING ( COUNT(TRAN_LCTR_NR) > 1 )

I have this 40,000,000 rows table... I am trying to clean this 'Contacts' table since I know there are a lot of duplicates.
At first, I wanted to get a count of how many there are.
I need to compare records where these fields are matched:
MATCHED: (email, firstname) but not MATCH: (lastname, phone, mobile).
MATCHED: (email, firstname, mobile)
But not MATCH: (lastname, phone)
MATCHED: (email, firstname, lastname)
But not MATCH: (phone, mobile)

There are many duplicate records on my data table because users constantly register under two accounts. I have a query that identify the records that have a duplicate, but it only shows one of the two records, and I need to show the two records so that I can reconcile the differences.The query is taken from a post on stack overflow. It gives me 196, but I need to see the 392 records.
How to identify the duplicates and show the tow records without having to hard code any values, so I can use the query in a report, and anytime there are new duplicates, the report shows them.
SELECT
[groom_first_name]
,[groom_last_name]
,[bride_first_name]
,[bride_last_name]

I have a table with 22 million Business records. I can see that there are duplicates when I group by BusinessName and Address and Phone. I'd like to place only the duplicates into a table, with a ranking, oldest business key gets a ranking of 1.
As a bonus I'd like each group to have a distinct group name (although not necessary, just want to know how to do this)
Later after I run more verifications to make sure these are not referenced elsewhere I'll delete everything with a matchRank > 1 out of the main Business table.
DROP TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness];
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness](
[Business_pk] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BusinessName] VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL,
[Address] VARCHAR(MAX) NOT NULL,

I need some help.
I have created a database that looks like the following:
FirstName Table link to Main Table.
I have created a Stored procedure that looks like this:
Create procedure dbo.StoredProcedure
(
@FirstName varchar(20)
)
Declare FirstNameID int
Insert Into Main Table
(
FirstName
)
Values
(
@FirstName
)
Select @FirstNameID = Scope_Identity()
How could I redesign this to check if a value exists and if it exists then simply use that value instead of creating a new duplicate value?
Thanks!!

I have a dilema..... I have a databas eof about 60,000 users and i need to get rid of those users where there is a duplicate email address. I have written an asp utilty that works but is far too taxing on our little server and i thinkk itwill kill it. what it does is for each email address it compares it against all the others.... so for each address it checks against 60,000 other records 60,000 times.... you know what i mean. its pretty phucked.... i tested it on just one record and took about 5mins.
anyway ive been trying to do it in SQL with no luck
here is a simplified version of my dilema
*****
NAMEEMAILAGE
tomtom@mail23
tombomb tom@mail23
petepete@email23
davecool@mail21
stevesteve@mail17
marycool@mail89
thomas tom@mail13
richrich@mail65
richdick@mail65
tomtom@mail23
tomtom@mail23
so what i want to do is cut it down so there are no duplicate email addresses. I want the table looking like this:
*****
NAMEEMAILAGE
tomtom@mail23
petepete@email23
davecool@mail21
stevesteve@mail17
richrich@mail65
richdick@mail65
Can you think of a way to do this?
i tried the following but it gets rid of duplicates of other fields which is not what i want to do
CREATE table distinct_records
SELECT name, Email, Age
FROM duplicate_records
GROUP BY name, Email, Age;
any ideas guys?
thanks

Hi,
Is there a way to find duplicates in one field? For example my query has person_nbr and for each person_nbr on one day they could have used multiple payer_names. I want to be able to count each person_nbr one time but also I want to group by description(which is the name of the provider) and by payer name to see how many person's that the provider seen with each payer. My problem is that if the person had more than one payer they are counted twice. Is there some type of aggregate function to use the first payer in the list??
With PersonMIA (person_id,person_nbr,first_name,last_name,date_of_birth) as
(
select distinct person_id,person_nbr,first_name,last_name,date_of_birth from
(select count(*) as countenc,a.person_id,a.person_nbr,
a.first_name,a.last_name,
a.date_of_birth
from person a
join patient_encounter b on a.person_id = b.person_id
group by a.person_id,a.person_nbr,a.first_name,a.last_name,a.date_of_birth )tmp
where tmp.countenc <=1
)
select person_nbr,payer_name,first_name,last_name,description,year(create_timestamp),create_timestamp
from
(
select distinct c.description,tmp.person_id,tmp.person_nbr,tmp.first_name,
tmp.last_name,tmp.date_of_birth,d.payer_name,b.create_timestamp
from PersonMIA tmp
join person a on a.person_id = tmp.person_id
join patient_encounter b on a.person_id = b.person_id
join provider_mstr c on b.rendering_provider_id = c.provider_id
join person_payer d on tmp.person_id = d.person_id
where c.description = 'Leon MD, Enrique'
group by c.description,tmp.person_id,tmp.person_nbr,tmp.first_name,tmp.last_name,
tmp.date_of_birth,d.payer_name,b.create_timestamp
)tmp2
where year(create_timestamp) IN (2005,2006)
group by person_nbr,payer_name,first_name,last_name,description,create_timestamp
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
I'll see if I can explain this clearly. The query below
selects rows from the "hdr_ctl_nbr_status" table if the value in the field "tcn" from that table is found in the table "temp_tcn". I want all fields from the "hdr_ctl_nbr_status" table to be selected BUT only one row. In other words for a tcn with a value "12345678" there are 10 rows returned from the hdr_ctl_nbr_status table, I want only 1. Is there a way I can use SELECT DISTINCT to do this ? I know this usually functions on one or more fields but I want the DISTINCT to be on tcn only BUT return all fields in the query.
Select h.*,'' from hdr_ctl_nbr_status as h WITH (NOLOCK)
where h.tcn in (select tcn from temp_tcn)
Thanks, sorry if this is too confusing. Jeff

Hi, All,
I have two columns of int data in the a table, as my example data shows below.
I want my data returned to be something like those in #test3, but my question is this, how can I do it without using #test2 and #test3?
By the way, the business requirement doesn't care it's min/max or any ID when one side has duplicated values.
Thanks!
Use tempdb
Go
if object_ID ('#test') is not null drop table #test
create table #test (col1 int, col2 int)
insert into #test
Select 123, 222 union
Select 124, 222 union
Select 125, 222 union
Select 111, 223 union
Select 111, 224
if object_ID ('#test2') is not null drop table #test2
create table #test2 (col1 int, col2 int)
Insert into #test2
Select distinct col1, min(col2) from #test group by col1
if object_ID ('#test3') is not null drop table #test3
create table #test3 (col1 int, col2 int)
Insert into #test3
Select min(col1), col2 from #test2 group by col2
Select * from #test3

I am attempting to execute the Stored Procedure at the foot of thismessage. The Stored Procedure runs correctly about 1550 times, butreceive the following error three times:Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure BackFillNetworkHours,Line 68Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when thesubquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used asan expression.I've done some digging, and the error message is moderatelyself-explanatory.The problem is that there is no Line 68 in the Stored Procedure.

Hi,
I’m using SQL Server 2000. I have a table called Contacts and I would like to be able to have the UserID as an indexed column and to ignore duplicates. I set up the following properties within my SQL Server database table:
Table Name: Contacts
Selected Index: IX_UserID
Column Name: UserID
Order: Ascending
Create Unique
Index
Ignore Duplicate Key
Every time I try to enter duplicates for the UserID column; I get an error that says, “Cannot enter duplicate key row in object ‘Contacts’. Can anyone explain this? Is it possible to create an index column with duplicate data?
Thanks,
