Fastest ways to find duplicate records in MySQL.

If name is the column you want to find duplicates in:

SELECT col1 FROM table GROUP BY col1 HAVING count(*) > 1;

Is also possible to support multiple columns, like this:

SELECT col1, col2, COUNT(*) c FROM table GROUP BY col1, col2 HAVING c > 1;

Get the IDs of the duplicate rows with GROUP_CONCAT:

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(id), name, COUNT(*) c FROM table GROUP BY name HAVING c > 1;
