Um in einer Benutzerdatenbank Duplikate ausfindig zu machen, in der jedoch ausschließlich LDAP-IDs statt Namen gespeichert werden, kann man folgenden Query verwenden:
USE myApplicationsDB; SELECT u.idUser, uc.dupeCount FROM tblUsers u INNER JOIN ( SELECT LDAPGUID, COUNT(*) AS dupeCount FROM tblUsers GROUP BY LDAPGUID HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ) uc ON u.LDAPGUID = uc.LDAPGUID
Ein eleganterer Weg, um z.B. in einer Termindatenbank Duplikate hintereinander aufzulisten, wäre folgender:
SELECT ID, Employees_ID, Customer_ID, Begin, Description FROM Appointments WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT ID FROM Appointments Dup WHERE Appointments.Employees_ID = Dup.Employees_ID AND Appointments.Customer_ID = Dup.Customer_ID AND Appointments.Begin = Dup.Begin AND Appointments.Description = Dup.Description AND Appointments.ID <> Dup.ID) ORDER BY ID;
