2001-04-11 Thread SHAWN

I can't find the answer to this, I know it's easy.
 
What's the SELECT statment I want to use to find duplicate entries in a
specific field?
 
Thanks in Advance!

SELECT column_name, count(*) AS doubles FROM some_table HAVING doubles  1 
GROUP BY colname

This should grab all instances where there are multiple instances of 
"column_name" with the same value.

Cheers,
