Write a SQL query to delete all duplicate email entries in a table named Person, keeping only unique emails based on its smallest Id.
This one is little tricky problem. I tried to use subquery approach to solve this problem.
+----+------------------+
| 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 | +----+------------------+
Note:
Your output is the whole Person table after executing your sql. Use delete statement.
Solution:
| DELETE FROM Person | |
| WHERE Id NOT IN (SELECT p.id | |
| FROM ( | |
| SELECT MIN(Id) as id | |
| FROM Person | |
| GROUP BY Email) as p); |
