时间:2021-08-04 17:03:02

Write a SQL query to delete all duplicate email entries in a table named Person, keeping only unique emails based on its smallest Id.

+----+------------------+
| Id | Email |
+----+------------------+
| 1 | john@example.com |
| 2 | bob@example.com |
| 3 | john@example.com |
+----+------------------+
Id is the primary key column for this table.

For example, after running your query, the above Person table should have the following rows:

+----+------------------+
| Id | Email |
+----+------------------+
| 1 | john@example.com |
| 2 | bob@example.com |
+----+------------------+

这道题让我们删除重复邮箱,那我们可以首先找出所有不重复的邮箱,然后取个反就是重复的邮箱,都删掉即可,那么我们如何找出所有不重复的邮箱呢,我们可以按照邮箱群组起来,然后用Min关键字挑出较小的,然后取补集删除即可:

解法一:

DELETE FROM Person WHERE Id NOT IN
(SELECT Id FROM (SELECT MIN(Id) Id FROM Person GROUP BY Email) p);

我们也可以使用内交让两个表以邮箱关联起来,然后把相同邮箱且Id大的删除掉,参见代码如下:

解法二:

DELETE p2 FROM Person p1 JOIN Person p2
ON p2.Email = p1.Email WHERE p2.Id > p1.Id;

我们也可以不用Join,而直接用where将两表关联起来也行:

解法三:

DELETE p2 FROM Person p1, Person p2
WHERE p1.Email = p2.Email AND p2.Id > p1.Id;
