Syntax error Display only the duplicate column names appearing atleast thrice in MySQL

Display only the duplicate column names appearing atleast thrice in MySQL



Use HAVING COUNT() for this. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1351
    -> (
    -> StudentId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    -> StudentName varchar(40)
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.08 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.68 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1351(StudentName) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1351;

This will produce the following output −

+-----------+-------------+
| StudentId | StudentName |
+-----------+-------------+
|         1 | Chris       |
|         2 | Bob         |
|         3 | Bob         |
|         4 | David       |
|         5 | Bob         |
|         6 | David       |
|         7 | Bob         |
|         8 | Mike        |
|         9 | David       |
+-----------+-------------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to display the duplicate column names appearing atleast thrice −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1351
    -> group by StudentName
    -> having count(StudentName) >=3;

This will produce the following output −

+-----------+-------------+
| StudentId | StudentName |
+-----------+-------------+
|         2 | Bob         |
|         4 | David       |
+-----------+-------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
