Finding duplicate values in MySQL

Question

I have a table with a varchar column, and I would like to find all the records that have duplicate values in this column. What is the best query I can use to find the duplic

Answer 1

I prefer to use windowed functions(MySQL 8.0+) to find duplicates because I could see entire row:

WITH cte AS (
  SELECT *
    ,COUNT(*) OVER(PARTITION BY col_name) AS num_of_duplicates_group
    ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY col_name ORDER BY col_name2) AS pos_in_group
  FROM table
)
SELECT *
FROM cte
WHERE num_of_duplicates_group > 1;
