mysql - 从表中删除所有重复行的最有效方法？

Question

我有一张桌子：

| foo | bar |
+-----+-----+
| a   | abc |
| b   | def |
| c   | ghi |
| d   | jkl |
| a   | mno |
| e   | pqr |
| c   | stu |
| f   | vwx |

我想按列删除所有包含重复项的行，foo以便表格如下所示：

| foo | bar |
+-----+-----+
| b   | def |
| d   | jkl |
| e   | pqr |
| f   | vwx |

最有效的方法是什么？

Answer 1

foo您可以使用仅返回唯一的子查询连接表LEFT JOIN。子查询中没有匹配的行将根据需要删除，例如

DELETE  a
FROM    TableName a
        LEFT JOIN
        (
            SELECT  foo
            FROM    TableName
            GROUP   BY Foo
            HAVING  COUNT(*) = 1
        ) b ON a.Foo = b.Foo
WHERE   b.Foo IS NULL

为了获得更快的性能，请在 column 上添加索引Foo。

ALTER TABLE tableName ADD INDEX(foo)

Answer 2

使用EXISTS：

DELETE a
  FROM TableName a
 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT NULL
                 FROM TableName b
                WHERE b.foo = a.foo
             GROUP BY b.foo
               HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)

使用IN：

DELETE a
  FROM TableName a
 WHERE a.foo IN (SELECT b.foo
                   FROM TableName b
               GROUP BY b.foo
                 HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)
