Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Counting duplicates in SQL
Hi
I have an input table which can have multiple duplicate rows - same name
field different ID's.
I can return the duplicate values using the SQL below, but would also like
the number of rows containing each duplicate value
I have:
SELECT Product_ID, Product_Name,
(SELECT MIN(Product_ID) FROM Products AS P1
WHERE Products.Product_Name = P1.Product_Name) AS OldID
FROM Products WHERE Product_ID NOT IN
(SELECT MIN(Product_ID) FROM Products AS P2
WHERE Products.Product_Name = P2.Product_Name)
85157 Chips 84050
82103 Fish 76929
82103 Fish 76929
99999 Sausage 82785
83780 Sausage 82785
So for example for "Sausage" I would like to report how many rows have an ID of 82785, 83780 and 99999 respectively. I can't see how I can adapt my statement above. Is there another approach using just SQL?
