DuckDB Check Duplicate Rows Query
This snippet demonstrates how to count the number of duplicate rows in a DuckDB table using a SQL query.
-- Count duplicate rows in the 'train' table
SELECT COUNT(*) - COUNT(DISTINCT columns(*))
FROM train;
This query works by:
- Counting all rows using
COUNT(*)
- Subtracting the count of distinct rows using
COUNT(DISTINCT *)
- The result is the number of duplicate rows
You can replace ‘train’ with the name of your specific table to check for duplicates in other tables.
Note: This query can be computationally expensive for large tables, as it needs to check all columns for uniqueness.
