This query gives me 487 duplicates.
SELECT bu,ndc,zonenm, COUNT(*)
from ci
GROUP BY bu,ndc
HAVING COUNT(concat(bu,ndc)) > 1

However,you cannot delete from the same table in a sub-query as the
main query.
In Oracle you can but not MySQL like below


DELETE FROM ci b
WHERE EXISTS ((
SELECT bu,ndc, count(1)
FROM ci
GROUP BY bu,ndc
HAVING COUNT(1)>1
) a
where a.bu=b.bu
and a.ndc = b.ndc
)

So my question is, how do you do this in MySQL?
I do have a unique id field.
I tried creating a temp table ci_tmp of the first select above of the
487 duplicates.
and using this DELETE query but get a runaway query and MySQL has to
be restarted.
So either this query below is wrong or I am using the wrong data in
the temp table.


DELETE FROM ci
WHERE id IN (select id
FROM ci_tmp
GROUP BY bu,ndc
HAVING COUNT(concat(bu,ndc) )>1)";

I would tell you to RTFMySQLM or ask in a MySQL newsgroup, where
this is on-topic, but you would not listen. Or would you?

if you tried to accomplish that with PHP, than post your code here, some
people here know how to solve these kind of bugs in PHP
