It is hard for me to tell which is index, which is value and so forth in your example, but how about this single select:
SELECT DISTINCT key, value FROM theTable; This lists all distinct key-value possibilities. Or, SELECT key, value FROM (SELECT DISTINCT key, value FROM theTable) GROUP BY key, value HAVING count() > 1; This lists all key-value pairs with more than one value for the key.

Knowing that there can be more than 2 duplicates, i.e. a slef-join is not enough I think. Any hints on how to go about this problem please?
