方法1:
1、創建一個臨時表,選取需要的數據。
2、清空原表。
3、臨時表數據導入到原表。
4、刪除臨時表。
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 12 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 14 | bb |
| 15 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
6 rows in set
mysql> create temporary table temp as select min(id),name from student group by name;
Query OK, 3 rows affected
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> truncate table student;
Query OK, 0 rows affected
mysql> insert into student select * from temp;
Query OK, 3 rows affected
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
3 rows in set
mysql> drop temporary table temp;
Query OK, 0 rows affected
這個方法,顯然存在效率問題。
方法2:按name分組,把最小的id保存到臨時表,刪除id不在最小id集合的記錄,如下:
mysql> create temporary table temp as select min(id) as MINID from student group by name;
Query OK, 3 rows affected
Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> delete from student where id not in (select minid from temp);
Query OK, 3 rows affected
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
3 rows in set
方法3:直接在原表上操作,容易想到的sql語句如下:
mysql> delete from student where id not in (select min(id) from student group by name);
執行報錯:1093 - You can't specify target table 'student' for update in FROM clause
原因是:更新數據時使用了查詢,而查詢的數據又做了更新的條件,mysql不支持這種方式。
怎么規避這個問題?
再加一層封裝,如下:
mysql> delete from student where id not in (select minid from (select min(id) as minid from student group by name) b);
Query OK, 3 rows affected
mysql> select * from student;
+----+------+
| ID | NAME |
+----+------+
| 11 | aa |
| 13 | bb |
| 16 | cc |
+----+------+
3 rows in set
