Hvordan slette dupliserte rader i SQL?

I denne delen lærer vi forskjellige måter å slette dupliserte rader på MySQL og Oracle . Hvis SQL tabellen inneholder dupliserte rader, så må vi fjerne de dupliserte radene.

Forbereder prøvedata

Skriptet oppretter tabellen med navn kontakter .

 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS contacts; CREATE TABLE contacts ( id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, first_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(210) NOT NULL, age VARCHAR(22) NOT NULL ); 

I tabellen ovenfor har vi satt inn følgende data.

finn i streng c++
 INSERT INTO contacts (first_name,last_name,email,age) VALUES ('Kavin','Peterson','[email protected]','21'), ('Nick','Jonas','[email protected]','18'), ('Peter','Heaven','[email protected]','23'), ('Michal','Jackson','[email protected]','22'), ('Sean','Bean','[email protected]','23'), ('Tom ','Baker','[email protected]','20'), ('Ben','Barnes','[email protected]','17'), ('Mischa ','Barton','[email protected]','18'), ('Sean','Bean','[email protected]','16'), ('Eliza','Bennett','[email protected]','25'), ('Michal','Krane','[email protected]','25'), ('Peter','Heaven','[email protected]','20'), ('Brian','Blessed','[email protected]','20'); ('Kavin','Peterson','[email protected]','30'), 

Vi kjører skriptet for å gjenskape testdata etter å ha utført en SLETT uttalelse .

Spørringen returnerer data fra kontakttabellen:

 SELECT * FROM contacts ORDER BY email; 

id fornavn etternavn E-post alder
7 Ben Barnes [e-postbeskyttet] tjueen
1. 3 Brian Velsignet [e-postbeskyttet] 18
10 Eliza Bennett [e-postbeskyttet] 23
1 Kavin Peterson [e-postbeskyttet] 22
14 Kavin Peterson [e-postbeskyttet] 23
8 Misha Barton [e-postbeskyttet] tjue
elleve Michael Kraner [e-postbeskyttet] 17
4 Michael Jackson [e-postbeskyttet] 18
2 Nick Jonas [e-postbeskyttet] 16
3 Peter Himmel [e-postbeskyttet] 25
12 Peter Himmel [e-postbeskyttet] 25
5 Sean Bønne [e-postbeskyttet] tjue
9 Sean Bønne [e-postbeskyttet] tjue
6 Tom Baker [e-postbeskyttet] 30

Følgende SQL-spørring returnerer de dupliserte e-postene fra kontakttabellen:

 SELECT email, COUNT(email) FROM contacts GROUP BY email HAVING COUNT (email) > 1; 

e-post COUNT(e-post)
[e-postbeskyttet] 2
[e-postbeskyttet] 2
[e-postbeskyttet] 2

Vi har tre rader med duplisere e-poster.

(A) Slett dupliserte rader med DELETE JOIN-setningen

Tre rader var slettet. Vi utfører spørringen, gitt nedenfor for å finne dupliserte e-poster fra bordet.

 SELECT email, COUNT (email) FROM contacts GROUP BY email HAVING COUNT (email) &gt; 1; 

Spørringen returnerer det tomme settet. For å bekrefte dataene fra kontakttabellen, utfør følgende SQL-spørring:

 SELECT * FROM contacts;

Radene ID-er 9, 12 og 14 har blitt slettet. Vi bruker setningen nedenfor for å slette de dupliserte radene:

(B) Slett dupliserte rader ved å bruke en mellomtabell

For å slette en duplikatrad ved å bruke mellomtabellen, følg trinnene nedenfor:

Trinn 1 . Lag en ny tabell struktur , samme som den virkelige tabellen:

linux $home
 CREATE TABLE source_copy LIKE source; 

Steg 2 . Sett inn de distinkte radene fra den opprinnelige planen til databasen:

 INSERT INTO source_copy SELECT * FROM source GROUP BY col; 

Trinn 3 . Slipp den opprinnelige tabellen og gi nytt navn til den umiddelbare tabellen til den opprinnelige.

 DROP TABLE source; ALTER TABLE source_copy RENAME TO source; 

Følgende utsagn sletter for eksempel rader med duplisere e-poster fra kontakttabellen:

 -- step 1 CREATE TABLE contacts_temp LIKE contacts; -- step 2 INSERT INTO contacts_temp SELECT * FROM contacts GROUP BY email; -- step 3 DROP TABLE contacts; ALTER TABLE contacts_temp RENAME TO contacts; 

(C) Slett dupliserte rader ved å bruke ROW_NUMBER()-funksjonen

Merk: ROW_NUMBER()-funksjonen har blitt støttet siden MySQL versjon 8.02, så vi bør sjekke MySQL-versjonen vår før vi bruker funksjonen.

Følgende uttalelse bruker ROW_NUMBER () for å tilordne et sekvensielt heltall til hver rad. Hvis e-posten er duplikat, vil raden være høyere enn én.

 SELECT id, email, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY email ORDER BY email ) AS row_num FROM contacts; 

Følgende SQL-spørring returnerer id-liste av de dupliserte radene:

 SELECT id FROM (SELECT id, ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY email ORDER BY email) AS row_num FROM contacts ) t WHERE row_num&gt; 1; 

Produksjon:

id
9
12
14

Slett dupliserte poster i Oracle

Da vi fant de dupliserte postene i tabellen, måtte vi slette de uønskede kopiene for å holde dataene våre rene og unike. Hvis en tabell har dupliserte rader, kan vi slette den ved å bruke SLETT uttalelse.

I tilfellet har vi en kolonne, som ikke er en del av gruppe pleide å evaluere de duplisere poster i tabellen.

Tenk på tabellen nedenfor:

VEGETABLE_ID VEGETABLE_NAME FARGE
01 Potet brun
02 Potet brun
03 Løk rød
04 Løk rød
05 Løk rød
06 Gresskar Grønn
07 Gresskar Gul

 -- create the vegetable table CREATE TABLE vegetables ( VEGETABLE_ID NUMBER generated BY DEFAULT AS ID ENTITY, VEGETABLE_NAME VARCHAR2(100), color VARCHAR2(20), PRIMARY KEY (VEGETABLE_ID) ); 

 -- insert sample rows INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;Potato&apos;,&apos;Brown&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;Potato&apos;,&apos;Brown&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;Onion&apos;,&apos;Red&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;Onion&apos;,&apos;Red&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;Onion&apos;,&apos;Red&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;Pumpkin&apos;,&apos;Green&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;Pumpkin&apos;,&apos;Yellow&apos;); 

 -- query data from the vegetable table SELECT * FROM vegetables; 

Anta at vi ønsker å beholde raden med den høyeste VEGETABLE_ID og slett alle andre kopier.

 SELECT MAX (VEGETABLE_ID) FROM vegetables GROUP BY VEGETABLE_NAME, color ORDER BY MAX(VEGETABLE_ID); 

MAX(VEGETABLE_ID)
2
5
6
7

Vi bruker SLETT setning for å slette radene hvis verdier i VEGETABLE_ID COLUMN er ikke høyest .

 DELETE FROM vegetables WHERE VEGETABLE_IDNOTIN ( SELECT MAX(VEGETABLE_ID) FROM vegetables GROUP BY VEGETABLE_NAME, color ); 

Tre rader er slettet.

 SELECT *FROM vegetables; 

VEGETABLE_ID VEGETABLE_NAME FARGE
02 Potet brun
05 Løk rød
06 Gresskar Grønn
07 Gul

Hvis vi vil beholde raden med den laveste id-en, bruker du MIN() funksjon i stedet for MAKS() funksjon.

 DELETE FROM vegetables WHERE VEGETABLE_IDNOTIN ( SELECT MIN(VEGETABLE_ID) FROM vegetables GROUP BY VEGETABLE_NAME, color ); 

Metoden ovenfor fungerer hvis vi har en kolonne som ikke er en del av gruppen for evaluering av duplikat. Hvis alle verdiene i kolonnene har kopier, kan vi ikke bruke VEGETABLE_ID kolonne.

La oss slippe og lage grønnsak bord med ny struktur.

 DROP TABLE vegetables; CREATE TABLE vegetables ( VEGETABLE_ID NUMBER, VEGETABLE_NAME VARCHAR2(100), Color VARCHAR2(20) ); 

 INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_ID,VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(1,&apos;Potato&apos;,&apos;Brown&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_ID,VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(1, &apos;Potato&apos;,&apos;Brown&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_ID,VEGETABLE_NAME,color)VALUES(2,&apos;Onion&apos;,&apos;Red&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_ID,VEGETABLE_NAME,color)VALUES(2,&apos;Onion&apos;,&apos;Red&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_ID,VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(2,&apos;Onion&apos;,&apos;Red&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_ID,VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(3,&apos;Pumpkin&apos;,&apos;Green&apos;); INSERT INTO vegetables (VEGETABLE_ID,VEGETABLE_NAME,color) VALUES(&apos;4,Pumpkin&apos;,&apos;Yellow&apos;); SELECT * FROM vegetables; 

VEGETABLE_ID VEGETABLE_NAME FARGE
01 Potet brun
01 Potet brun
02 Løk rød
02 Løk rød
02 Løk rød
03 Gresskar Grønn
04 Gresskar Gul

I grønnsakstabellen, verdiene i alle kolonner VEGETABLE_ID, VEGETABLE_NAME , og farge er kopiert.

Vi kan bruke rowid , en lokator som spesifiserer hvor Oracle lagrer raden. Fordi det rowid er unik, slik at vi kan bruke den til å fjerne duplikatradene.

 DELETE FROM Vegetables WHERE rowed NOT IN ( SELECT MIN(rowid) FROM vegetables GROUP BY VEGETABLE_ID, VEGETABLE_NAME, color ); 

Spørringen bekrefter sletteoperasjonen:

 SELECT * FROM vegetables; 

VEGETABLE_ID VEGETABLE_NAME FARGE
01 Potet brun
02 Løk rød
03 Gresskar Grønn
04 Gresskar Gul
