实际录入数据库的过程中，如果数据量比较大的话，难免会因为一些原因，而录入多条重复的记录，那么应该如何操作才能删除重复行，并且保留一条id较大，或者较小的记录呢。
在本例中所用数据表结构如下所示tdb_goods
表中数据重复如图所示
首先第一步，利用group by分组查出每组中数目大于2的（即重复记录的）内容
mysql> SELECT goods_id,goods_name FROM tdb_goods GROUP BY goods_name HAVING COUNT(goods_name)>=2;+----------+------------------------------+| goods_id | goods_name |+----------+------------------------------+| 20 | X3250 M4机架式服务器 2583i14 || 19 | 商务双肩背包 |-------------------------------------------然后使用LEFT JOIN使原始表和上述查询结果进行连接，删除重复记录，保留id较小的记录
mysql> DELETE t1 FROM tdb_goods AS t1 LEFT JOIN( SELECT goods_id,goods_name FROM tdb_goods GROUP BY goods_name HAVING COUNT(goods_name)>=2) AS t2 ON t1.goods_name = t2.goods_name WHERE t1.goods_id>t2.goods_id;从上述语句可以看出，条件是名称相同的，然后删除所有goods_id大的记录。这样就可以实现想要的效果。 如果想保留id较大的同理，如下所示
mysql> DELETE t1 FROM tdb_goods AS t1 LEFT JOIN( SELECT max(goods_id) AS goods_id,goods_name FROM tdb_goods GROUP BY goods_name HAVING COUNT(goods_name)>=2) ASt2 ON t1.goods_name = t2.goods_name WHERE t1.goods_id=2;DELETE t1 FROM qs_member AS t1 LEFT JOIN( SELECT uid,username FROM qs_member GROUP BY username HAVING COUNT(username)>=2) AS t2 ON t1.username = t2.username WHERE t1.uid>t2.uid;
