SELECT yourcolumnname, COUNT(*)
FROM yourtablename
GROUP BY yourcolumnname
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
- To delete duplicate entries (keep one instance of each duplicate):DELETE t1 FROM yourtablename t1
INNER JOIN yourtablename t2
WHERE
t1.id > t2.id AND
t1.yourcolumnname = t2.yourcolumnname;
- To update a duplicate entry to make it unique, replace `newuniquevalue` with the value you want to set, and `id` with the identifier of the row you wish to update:UPDATE yourtablename
SET yourcolumnname = 'newuniquevalue'
WHERE id = 'row_identifier';
6. After resolving the duplicate data, attempt the operation that caused the error again to see if it is resolved.
