RE: Easy Way to Find Duplicates

Angela,

Thanks for the push. I was able to get it to work by using the following C# method.

Innovator myInnovator = this.newInnovator();
Item results = myInnovator.applySQL(

" select count(*) [Count], keyed_name " +
" from [Part] " +
" where is_current=1 " +
" group by keyed_name, item_number " +
" having count(*) >= 2 "
);

return results;

Good question. So far I know Excel and SQL.

For collecting the affected data SQL offers a view more options. You can build your query to just display the duplicates. You can also display the id so you can then build an idlist for deleting the elements.

But I would be happy to know if somebody else knows a better approach!

Edit: It should be obvious but I am sure there will be one user that will try to do it: Don´t delete in SQL! Just use it for getting the data!
