如何使用子表记录检测重复记录

让我们说我正在创建一个地址簿,其中主表包含基本联系信息和电话号码子表 -

Contact
===============
Id         [PK]
Name

PhoneNumber
===============
Id         [PK]
Contact_Id [FK]
Number

因此,Contact记录可能在PhoneNumber表中有零个或多个相关记录。除主键之外的任何列的唯一性都没有约束。事实上,这必须是真的,因为:

  1. 具有不同名称的两个联系人可以共享电话号码,
  2. 两个联系人可能名称相同但电话号码不同。
  3. 我想将可能包含重复记录的大型数据集导入到我的数据库中,然后使用SQL过滤掉重复项。识别重复记录的规则很简单......它们必须共享相同名称和相同数量的具有相同内容的电话记录。

    当然,这对于从Contact表中选择重复项非常有效,但是根据我的规则,它不能帮助我检测实际的重复项:

    SELECT * FROM Contact
    WHERE EXISTS
        (SELECT 'x' FROM Contact t2 
         WHERE t2.Name = Contact.Name AND
               t2.Id > Contact.Id);
    

    似乎我想要的是对我已经拥有的东西的逻辑延伸,但我必须忽视它。有什么帮助吗?

    谢谢!

在我的问题中,我创建了一个大大简化的模式,反映了我正在解决的现实问题。 Przemyslaw的答案确实是一个正确的答案,并且做了我用样本架构和扩展后的真实问题。

但是,在对真实模式和更大(~10k记录)数据集进行一些实验后,我发现性能是一个问题。我并不认为自己是一名索引大师,但我无法找到比模式中已有的更好的索引组合。

所以,我提出了一个替代解决方案,它满足相同的要求,但只在一小部分(<10%)的时间内执行,至少使用SQLite3 - 我的生产引擎。希望它可以帮助别人,我会把它作为我问题的替代答案。

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Contact;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS PhoneNumber;

CREATE TABLE Contact (
  Id    INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  Name  TEXT
);

CREATE TABLE PhoneNumber (
  Id          INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  Contact_Id  INTEGER REFERENCES Contact (Id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
  Number      TEXT
);

INSERT INTO Contact (Id, Name) VALUES
  (1, 'John Smith'),
  (2, 'John Smith'),
  (3, 'John Smith'),
  (4, 'Jane Smith'),
  (5, 'Bob Smith'),
  (6, 'Bob Smith');

INSERT INTO PhoneNumber (Id, Contact_Id, Number) VALUES
  (1, 1, '555-1212'),
  (2, 1, '222-1515'),
  (3, 2, '222-1515'),
  (4, 2, '555-1212'),
  (5, 3, '111-2525'),
  (6, 4, '111-2525');

COMMIT;

SELECT *
FROM Contact c1
WHERE EXISTS (
  SELECT 1
  FROM Contact c2
  WHERE c2.Id > c1.Id
    AND c2.Name = c1.Name
    AND (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PhoneNumber WHERE Contact_Id = c2.Id) = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PhoneNumber WHERE Contact_Id = c1.Id)
    AND (
      SELECT COUNT(*)
      FROM PhoneNumber p1
      WHERE p1.Contact_Id = c2.Id
        AND EXISTS (
          SELECT 1
          FROM PhoneNumber p2
          WHERE p2.Contact_Id = c1.Id
            AND p2.Number = p1.Number
        )
    ) = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PhoneNumber WHERE Contact_Id = c1.Id)
)
;

结果如预期:

Id     Name
====== =============
1      John Smith
5      Bob Smith

其他发动机必然具有不同的性能,这可能是完全可以接受的。对于这种模式,这个解决方案似乎与SQLite非常兼容。

关键字“有”是您的朋友。通用用途是:

select field1, field2, count(*) records
from whereever
where whatever
group by field1, field2
having records > 1

是否可以在having子句中使用别名取决于数据库引擎。您应该能够将这一基本原则应用于您的情况。

作者表示要求“两个人是同一个人”:

  1. 具有相同的名称和
  2. 拥有相同数量的电话号码,所有这些都是相同的。
  3. 所以这个问题比它看起来要复杂得多(或者我刚刚推翻它)。

    示例数据和(一个丑陋的,我知道,但总的想法在那里)我在下面的测试数据上测试的示例查询似乎正常工作(我正在使用Oracle 11g R2):

    CREATE TABLE contact (
      id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
      name VARCHAR2(40))
    ;
    
    CREATE TABLE phone_number (
      id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
      contact_id REFERENCES contact (id),
      phone VARCHAR2(10)
    );
    
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (1, 'John');
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (2, 'John');
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (3, 'Peter');
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (4, 'Peter');
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (5, 'Mike');
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (6, 'Mike');
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (7, 'Mike');
    
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (1, 1, '123'); -- John having number 123
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (2, 1, '456'); -- John having number 456
    
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (3, 2, '123'); -- John the second having number 123
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (4, 2, '456'); -- John the second having number 456
    
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (5, 3, '123'); -- Peter having number 123
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (6, 3, '456'); -- Peter having number 123
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (7, 3, '789'); -- Peter having number 123
    
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (8, 4, '456'); -- Peter the second having number 456
    
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (9, 5, '123'); -- Mike having number 456
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (10, 5, '456'); -- Mike having number 456
    
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (11, 6, '123'); -- Mike the second having number 456
    INSERT INTO phone_number (id, contact_id, phone) VALUES (12, 6, '789'); -- Mike the second having number 456
    
    -- Mike the third having no number
    COMMIT;
    
    -- does not meet the requirements described in the question - will return Peter when it should not
    SELECT DISTINCT c.name
      FROM contact c JOIN phone_number pn ON (pn.contact_id = c.id)
    GROUP BY name, phone_number
    HAVING COUNT(c.id) > 1
    ;
    
    -- returns correct results for provided test data
    -- take all people that have a namesake in contact table and
    -- take all this person's phone numbers that this person's namesake also has
    -- finally (outer query) check that the number of both persons' phone numbers is the same and
    -- the number of the same phone numbers is equal to the number of (either) person's phone numbers
    SELECT c1_id, name
      FROM (
        SELECT c1.id AS c1_id, c1.name, c2.id AS c2_id, COUNT(1) AS cnt
          FROM contact c1
            JOIN contact c2 ON (c2.id != c1.id AND c2.name = c1.name)
            JOIN phone_number pn ON (pn.contact_id = c1.id)
        WHERE
          EXISTS (SELECT 1
                    FROM phone_number
                  WHERE contact_id = c2.id
                    AND phone = pn.phone)
        GROUP BY c1.id, c1.name, c2.id
      )
    WHERE cnt = (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM phone_number WHERE contact_id = c1_id)
      AND (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM phone_number WHERE contact_id = c1_id) = (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM phone_number WHERE contact_id = c2_id)
    ;
    
    -- cleanup
    DROP TABLE phone_number;
    DROP TABLE contact;

    回答作者的评论:我当然没有考虑到这一点......这是一个经过修改的解决方案:

    -- new test data
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (8, 'Jane');
    INSERT INTO contact (id, name) VALUES (9, 'Jane');
    
    SELECT c1_id, name
      FROM (
        SELECT c1.id AS c1_id, c1.name, c2.id AS c2_id, COUNT(1) AS cnt
          FROM contact c1
            JOIN contact c2 ON (c2.id != c1.id AND c2.name = c1.name)
            LEFT JOIN phone_number pn ON (pn.contact_id = c1.id)
        WHERE pn.contact_id IS NULL
          OR EXISTS (SELECT 1
                    FROM phone_number
                  WHERE contact_id = c2.id
                    AND phone = pn.phone)
        GROUP BY c1.id, c1.name, c2.id
      )
    WHERE (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM phone_number WHERE contact_id = c1_id) IN (0, cnt)
      AND (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM phone_number WHERE contact_id = c1_id) = (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM phone_number WHERE contact_id = c2_id)
    ;
    

    我们允许没有电话号码的情况(LEFT JOIN),在外部查询中我们现在比较人的电话号码的数量 - 它必须等于0,或者从内部查询返回的数字。
