I have the following table structure:
id num1 num2 num3 ... 1 1 2 3 2 1 3 2 3 1 2 3 . . .
I use the following command to display the duplicates and the counts:
SELECT COUNT(num1), num1, num2, num3 FROM table GROUP BY num1, num2, num3 HAVING (COUNT(num1) > 1) AND (COUNT(num2) > 1) AND (COUNT(num3) > 1)
This command gives me a count of 2. I would like to know how the second line could also be counted as a dublicate.

Answer
You need the scalar functions MIN()
and MAX()
to get the 3 integer values of each row in ascending order, so that you can create a unique triplet to group by:
SELECT COUNT(*) count, MIN(num1, num2, num3) num_1, num1 + num2 + num3 - MIN(num1, num2, num3) - MAX(num1, num2, num3) num_2, MAX(num1, num2, num3) num_3 FROM tablename GROUP BY num_1, num_2, num_3 HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
See the demo.
