MySQL 删除数据库中重复数据方法小结
投稿：hebedich
在实际项目中，我们经常会遇到删除数据库中重复数据的问题，貌似是很简单的问题哈，下面我们来探讨下
刚开始，根据我的想法，这个很简单嘛，上sql语句
delete from zqzrdp where tel in (select min(dpxx_id) from zqzrdp group by tel having count(tel)>1);
执行，报错！！~！~
异常意为：你不能指定目标表的更新在FROM子句。傻了，MySQL 这样写，不行，让人郁闷。
难倒只能分步操作，蛋疼
以下是网友写的，同样是坑爹的代码，我机器上运行不了。
1. 查询需要删除的记录，会保留一条记录。
select a.id,a.subject,a.RECEIVER from test1 a left join (select c.subject,c.RECEIVER ,max(c.id) as bid from test1 c where status=0 GROUP BY RECEIVER,SUBJECT having count(1) >1) b on a.id< b.bid where a.subject=b.subject and a.RECEIVER = b.RECEIVER and a.id < b.bid
2. 删除重复记录，只保留一条记录。注意，subject,RECEIVER 要索引，否则会很慢的。
delete a from test1 a, (select c.subject,c.RECEIVER ,max(c.id) as bid from test1 c where status=0 GROUP BY RECEIVER,SUBJECT having count(1) >1) b where a.subject=b.subject and a.RECEIVER = b.RECEIVER and a.id < b.bid;
3. 查找表中多余的重复记录，重复记录是根据单个字段（peopleId）来判断
select * from people where peopleId in (select peopleId from people group by peopleId having count(peopleId) > 1)
4. 删除表中多余的重复记录，重复记录是根据单个字段（peopleId）来判断，只留有rowid最小的记录
delete from people where peopleId in (select peopleId from people group by peopleId having count(peopleId) > 1) and rowid not in (select min(rowid) from people group by peopleId having count(peopleId )>1)
5.删除表中多余的重复记录（多个字段），只留有rowid最小的记录
delete from vitae a where (a.peopleId,a.seq) in (select peopleId,seq from vitae group by peopleId,seq having count(*) > 1) and rowid not in (select min(rowid) from vitae group by peopleId,seq having count(*)>1)
看来想偷懒使用一句命令完成这个事好像不太显示，还是老老实实的分步处理吧，思路先建立复制一个临时表，然后对比临时表内的数据，删除主表里的数据
alter table tableName add autoID int auto_increment not null; create table tmp select min(autoID) as autoID from tableName group by Name,Address; create table tmp2 select tableName.* from tableName,tmp where tableName.autoID = tmp.autoID; drop table tableName; rename table tmp2 to tableName;
