Finding duplicate row values

    I've been struggling with this for a while. I imagine the answer requires a few temporary tables, but does anyone else have a more elegant solution?

    I have a table with four fields in it. The fourth field contains duplicate values. I want to insert into a new table just the values in the fourth field that have a duplicate value (and ignore values that appear just once).

    For instance, if my source table is like this:

    data1, data2, data3, data4

    data1, data5, data6, data7

    data2, data6, data1, data4

    data3, data3, data5, data9

    data2, data5, data3, data7

    The new table will look like this:

    data4

    data7

    Any brilliant ideas out there?

    Not really brilliant, but this may work:

    create table MyTest

    (MyChar varchar( 10)

    , MyChar2 varchar( 10)

    , MyChar3 varchar( 10)

    , MyChar4 varchar( 10)

    )

    go

    insert MyTest select 'data1', 'data2', 'data3', 'data4'

    insert MyTest select 'data1', 'data5', 'data6', 'data7'

    insert MyTest select 'data2', 'data6', 'data1', 'data4'

    insert MyTest select 'data3', 'data3', 'data5', 'data9'

    insert MyTest select 'data2', 'data5', 'data3', 'data7'

    go

    select * from MyTest

    go

    select MyChar4

    from MyTest

    group by MyChar4

    having count(*) > 1

    go

    drop table MyTest

    A very simple solution that works perfectly! In my opinion, that makes it brilliant!

    You have a thread for your question already, don't hijack other people's threads.

    As a side bar, any time something is "urgent", take the time to help others help you. Do like I said on the other thread and read/heed the following article. People will jump through flaming hoops for you if you post data in a readily consumable format like the article suggests.
