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。

我想更具体地说明我删除了哪些记录，下面是我的解决方案:

delete
from jobs c1
where not c1.location = 'Paris'
and  c1.site_id > 64218
and exists 
(  
select * from jobs c2 
where c2.site_id = c1.site_id
and   c2.company = c1.company
and   c2.location = c1.location
and   c2.title = c1.title
and   c2.site_id > 63412
and   c2.site_id < 64219
)

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)

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 ...

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

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
