MySQL: SELECT UNIQUE VALUE

Question

In my table I have several duplicates. Ineed to find unique values in mysql table column.

SQL

SELECT column FROM table WHERE column is unique  SELECT column FROM table WHERE column = DISTINCT 

I've been trying to Google, but almost all queries are more complex.

The result I's like is all non duplicate values.

EDIT I'd like to have UNIQUE values...

Not all values one time... (Distinct)

Answer 1

Try to use DISTINCT like this:

SELECT DISTINCT mycolumn FROM mytable 

EDIT:

Try

select mycolumn, count(mycolumn) c from mytable group by mycolumn having c = 1 

Answer 2

Here is the query that you want!

SELECT column FROM table GROUP BY column HAVING COUNT(column) = 1 

This query took 00.34 seconds on a data set of 1 Million rows.

Here is a query for you though, in the future if you DO want duplicates, but NOT non-duplicates...

SELECT column, COUNT(column) FROM table GROUP BY column HAVING COUNT(column) > 1 

This query took 00.59 seconds on a data set of 1 Million rows. This query will give you the (column) value for every duplicate, and also the COUNT(column) result for how many duplicates. You can obviously choose not to select COUNT(column) if you don't care how many there are.
