Question

Answer 1

You can start by:

SELECT count(id) FROM tablename
GROUP BY IP

Then you just join those results back onto the table to get information about the duplicates

So modify the first statement with: SELECT count(id) as number, IP FROM tablename

Then

   SELECT a.id, a.name FROM tablename a
   JOIN (
        SELECT count(id) as number, IP FROM tablename
    ) b ON a.IP = b.IP
    WHERE number > 1

This should give you all the duplicate IP addresses in the Database. You may have to figure out a way to decide on which account to keep and which to remove, but this should give you a start.
