How to delete duplicated rows and update the table
I have duplicated rows in tables.
I have two table which are connected by a foreign key
regions (id)
orders (region_id)
The regions have duplicated names. I want to delete these duplicated rows and update orders table that duplicated foreign key will now be set to only left existing name in regions table.
Example:
regions table:
id name
1 | test
2 | test
3 | foo
orders table:
id region_id
6 |开发者_如何学Python 1
7 | 2
9 | 3
I want
orders table:
id region_id
6 | 1
7 | 1
9 | 3
regions table:
id name
1 | test
3 | foo
I can get duplicated rows with this SQL:
SELECT name, count(id) as cnt FROM regions
GROUP BY name HAVING cnt > 1
How can I connect this select with order table and delete duplicated rows and update the table?
To update the orders table, something like:
update orders
join regions r1
on r1.id = orders.region_id
set orders.region_id =
(
select min(r2.id)
from regions r2
where r2.name = r1.name
)
After that, you can delete duplicate rows with:
delete regions
from regions
where id not in
(
select id
from (
select min(id) as id
from regions
group by
name
) as SubqueryAlias
)
The double subquery is required to avoid the MySQL error ERROR 1093 (HY000) at line 36: You can't specify target table 'regions' for update in FROM clause
.
