起因
我在创建唯一索引时,提示有重复数据,创建失败。于是,我得先去重,然后再创建唯一索引。
建表
CREATE TABLE `demo_table` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`name` char(255) NOT NULL,
`email` char(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
插入数据,并尝试建立唯一索引
INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('1', 'u1', 'u1@email.com');
INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('2', 'u2', 'u2@email.com');

INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('30', 'u30', 'u2@email.com');
创建唯一索引
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_email ON demo_table(email);
执行结果:
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry 'u2@email.com' for key 'idx_email'
提示有重复数据,导致创建唯一索引失败。
查看插入的数据
select * from demo_table;
执行结果:
+----+------+---------------+
| id | name | email |
+----+------+---------------+
| 1 | u1 | u1@email.com |
| 2 | u2 | u2@email.com |
| 3 | u3 | u3@email.com |
| 4 | u4 | u4@email.com |
| 5 | u5 | u5@email.com |
| 6 | u6 | u6@email.com |
| 7 | u7 | u7@email.com |
| 8 | u8 | u8@email.com |
| 9 | u9 | u9@email.com |
| 10 | u10 | u10@email.com |
| 11 | u11 | u11@email.com |
| 12 | u12 | u12@email.com |
| 13 | u13 | u13@email.com |
| 14 | u14 | u14@email.com |
| 15 | u15 | u15@email.com |
| 16 | u16 | u16@email.com |
| 17 | u17 | u17@email.com |
| 18 | u18 | u18@email.com |
| 19 | u19 | u19@email.com |
| 20 | u20 | u20@email.com |
| 21 | u21 | u1@email.com |
| 22 | u22 | u2@email.com |
| 23 | u23 | u3@email.com |
| 24 | u24 | u4@email.com |
| 25 | u25 | u5@email.com |
| 26 | u26 | u1@email.com |
| 27 | u27 | u2@email.com |
| 28 | u28 | u3@email.com |
| 29 | u29 | u1@email.com |
| 30 | u30 | u2@email.com |
+----+------+---------------+
30 rows in set (0.00 sec)
可以看到,我们插入的email字段的确有重复数据。当然,我们是故意的。
查看不重复的数据
使用group by看看email字段完全不重复的数据。为了让结果看起来比较顺眼,我们使用order by对结果排一下序,这个不是必选项啦。
select * from demo_table group by email order by id;
执行结果:
+----+------+---------------+
| id | name | email |
+----+------+---------------+
| 1 | u1 | u1@email.com |
| 2 | u2 | u2@email.com |
| 3 | u3 | u3@email.com |
| 4 | u4 | u4@email.com |
| 5 | u5 | u5@email.com |
| 6 | u6 | u6@email.com |
| 7 | u7 | u7@email.com |
| 8 | u8 | u8@email.com |
| 9 | u9 | u9@email.com |
| 10 | u10 | u10@email.com |
| 11 | u11 | u11@email.com |
| 12 | u12 | u12@email.com |
| 13 | u13 | u13@email.com |
| 14 | u14 | u14@email.com |
| 15 | u15 | u15@email.com |
| 16 | u16 | u16@email.com |
| 17 | u17 | u17@email.com |
| 18 | u18 | u18@email.com |
| 19 | u19 | u19@email.com |
| 20 | u20 | u20@email.com |
+----+------+---------------+
20 rows in set (0.00 sec)
可以发现,表中原本有30条记录,group by得出的结果是只有20条记录,这就说明有10条重复记录。
不相信?好吧,我们再使用having看看吧。group by后,分组记录条数是多少就表示该字段存在多少条。大于1就表示出现了重复。
select *,count(id) from demo_table group by email having count(id)>1 order by id;
执行结果:
+----+------+--------------+-----------+
| id | name | email | count(id) |
+----+------+--------------+-----------+
| 1 | u1 | u1@email.com | 4 |
| 2 | u2 | u2@email.com | 4 |
| 3 | u3 | u3@email.com | 3 |
| 4 | u4 | u4@email.com | 2 |
| 5 | u5 | u5@email.com | 2 |
+----+------+--------------+-----------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
这下子,我们不仅仅知道重复记录的条数是10条,而且还知道是哪些email出现了重复,并且出现了多次数。
还不相信?好吧,那你自己数吧
删除重复数据
我们只保留id最小的数据,其他重复的都给删掉。
delete from demo_table where id not in (select min(id) from demo_table group by email);
执行结果:
ERROR 1093 (HY000): You can't specify target table 'demo_table' for update in FROM clause
额 MySQL,不可以这样操作。
题外话:
如果不是纯使用SQL方式处理,而是通过编程处理,可以把select min(id) from demo_table group by email查询出来的id结果集保存在变量中,然后再执行delete from demo_table where id not id结果集。有一点需要注意的是,可能id结果集很大很大,保存在变量中会吃内存。
利用新表进行间接操作
把需要保留的数据id存在临时表中,然后删除重复数据。
create table tmp_table as select min(id) from demo_table group by email;
执行结果:
Query OK, 20 rows affected (0.43 sec)
Records: 20 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
看看我们创建的临时表:
select * from tmp_table;
执行结果:
+---------+
| min(id) |
+---------+
| 10 |
| 11 |
| 12 |
| 13 |
| 14 |
| 15 |
| 16 |
| 17 |
| 18 |
| 19 |
| 1 |
| 20 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
| 4 |
| 5 |
| 6 |
| 7 |
| 8 |
| 9 |
+---------+
20 rows in set (0.00 sec)
这就是我们要保留的记录的id列表。
删除重复数据:
delete from demo_table where id not in (select * from tmp_table);
执行结果:
Query OK, 10 rows affected (0.05 sec)
让我们再看一眼demo_table表吧:
select * from demo_table;
执行结果:
+----+------+---------------+
| id | name | email |
+----+------+---------------+
| 1 | u1 | u1@email.com |
| 2 | u2 | u2@email.com |
| 3 | u3 | u3@email.com |
| 4 | u4 | u4@email.com |
| 5 | u5 | u5@email.com |
| 6 | u6 | u6@email.com |
| 7 | u7 | u7@email.com |
| 8 | u8 | u8@email.com |
| 9 | u9 | u9@email.com |
| 10 | u10 | u10@email.com |
| 11 | u11 | u11@email.com |
| 12 | u12 | u12@email.com |
| 13 | u13 | u13@email.com |
| 14 | u14 | u14@email.com |
| 15 | u15 | u15@email.com |
| 16 | u16 | u16@email.com |
| 17 | u17 | u17@email.com |
| 18 | u18 | u18@email.com |
| 19 | u19 | u19@email.com |
| 20 | u20 | u20@email.com |
+----+------+---------------+
20 rows in set (0.00 sec)
好的,重复的数据已经被我们成功干掉了。大功告成。等等,我们还得把那个已经没有用处的临时表给删除。
drop table tmp_table;
执行结果:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.12 sec)
总结
其实就三条SQL语句:
create table tmp_table as select min(id) from demo_table group by email;
delete from demo_table where id not in (select * from tmp_table);
drop table tmp_table;
可能有童鞋要问,如果要去重的不是一个字段,而是多个怎么办?比如,某2条记录的email相同并且name也相同,就算为重复。
处理方式:
group by email,name
再说说数据列去重复吧
故意插入一些列重复的数据
INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('31', '31@email.com', '31@email.com');
INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('32', '32@email.com', '32@email.com');
INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('33', '33@email.com', '33@email.com');
INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('34', '34@email.com', '34@email.com');
INSERT INTO `test`.`demo_table` (`id`, `name`, `email`) VALUES ('35', '35@email.com', '35@email.com');
查找表中name字段和email字段相同的数据:
select * from demo_table as a, demo_table as b where a.id=b.id and a.name=b.email;
执行结果:
+----+--------------+--------------+----+--------------+--------------+
| id | name | email | id | name | email |
+----+--------------+--------------+----+--------------+--------------+
| 31 | 31@email.com | 31@email.com | 31 | 31@email.com | 31@email.com |
| 32 | 32@email.com | 32@email.com | 32 | 32@email.com | 32@email.com |
| 33 | 33@email.com | 33@email.com | 33 | 33@email.com | 33@email.com |
| 34 | 34@email.com | 34@email.com | 34 | 34@email.com | 34@email.com |
| 35 | 35@email.com | 35@email.com | 35 | 35@email.com | 35@email.com |
+----+--------------+--------------+----+--------------+--------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
重复记录的id都已经找出来了,删除就参考上述方式处理了。
