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`);

MySQL对引用要删除的表有限制。你可以用一个临时表来解决这个问题，比如:

create temporary table tmpTable (id int);

insert  into tmpTable
        (id)
select  id
from    YourTable yt
where   exists
        (
        select  *
        from    YourTabe yt2
        where   yt2.title = yt.title
                and yt2.company = yt.company
                and yt2.site_id = yt.site_id
                and yt2.id > yt.id
        );

delete  
from    YourTable
where   ID in (select id from tmpTable);

以下是Kostanos在评论中的建议: 上面唯一缓慢的查询是DELETE，适用于数据库非常大的情况。这个查询可以更快:

DELETE FROM YourTable USING YourTable, tmpTable WHERE YourTable.id=tmpTable.id

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`;

一种简单易懂且不需要主键的解决方案:

add a new boolean column alter table mytable add tokeep boolean; add a constraint on the duplicated columns AND the new column alter table mytable add constraint preventdupe unique (mycol1, mycol2, tokeep); set the boolean column to true. This will succeed only on one of the duplicated rows because of the new constraint update ignore mytable set tokeep = true; delete rows that have not been marked as tokeep delete from mytable where tokeep is null; drop the added column alter table mytable drop tokeep;

我建议您保留您添加的约束，以便将来防止出现新的重复。

简单和快速的所有情况:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS _temp_duplicates AS (SELECT dub.id FROM table_with_duplications dub GROUP BY dub.field_must_be_uniq_1, dub.field_must_be_uniq_2 HAVING COUNT(*)  > 1);

DELETE FROM table_with_duplications WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM _temp_duplicates);

下面是我用过的方法，它很有效:

create table temp_table like my_table;

T_id是唯一的列

insert into temp_table (id) select id from my_table GROUP by t_id;
delete from my_table where id not in (select id from temp_table);
drop table temp_table;
