MySQL数据库中删除重复记录的方法总结[推荐]

数据：
mysql> select * from demo order by id;
+----+------------------------+
| id | site |
+----+------------------------+
| 1 | http://www.CodeBit.cn |
| 2 | http://YITU.org |
| 3 | http://www.ShuoWen.org |
| 4 | http://www.CodeBit.cn |
| 5 | http://www.ShuoWen.org |
+----+------------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

当没有创建表或创建索引权限的时候，可以用下面的方法：

如果你要删除较旧的重复记录，可以使用下面的语句：
mysql> delete from a
-> using demo as a, demo as b
-> where (a.id > b.id)
-> and (a.site = b.site);
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.12 sec)

mysql> select * from demo order by id;
+----+------------------------+
| id | site |
+----+------------------------+
| 1 | http://www.CodeBit.cn |
| 2 | http://YITU.org |
| 3 | http://www.ShuoWen.org |
+----+------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

如果你要删除较新的重复记录，可以使用下面的语句：
mysql> delete from a
-> using demo as a, demo as b
-> where (a.id < b.id)
-> and (a.site = b.site);
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.12 sec)

mysql> select * from demo order by id;
+----+------------------------+
| id | site |

| 2 | http://YITU.org |
| 4 | http://www.CodeBit.cn |
| 5 | http://www.ShuoWen.org |
+----+------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

你可以用下面的语句先确认将被删除的重复记录：
mysql> SELECT a.*
-> FROM demo a, demo b
-> WHERE a.id > b.id
-> AND (a.site = b.site);
+----+------------------------+
| id | site |
+----+------------------------+
| 1 | http://www.CodeBit.cn |
| 3 | http://www.ShuoWen.org |
+----+------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

如果有创建索引的权限，可以用下面的方法：

在表上创建唯一键索引：

 mysql> alter ignore table demo add unique index ukey (site); Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.46 sec) Records: 5 Duplicates: 2 Warnings: 0 mysql> select * from demo order by id; +----+------------------------+ | id | site | +----+------------------------+ | 1 | http://www.CodeBit.cn | | 2 | http://YITU.org | | 3 | http://www.ShuoWen.org | +----+------------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) 

重复记录被删除后，如果需要，可以删除索引：
