Count of duplicate values in MySQL table
March 14, 2011
A client is using the Drupal node title module and, as part of an SEO review, I want to see how many duplicate meta titles there are. The following is a simple MySQL statement that I ran to get the answer:
SELECT DISTINCT(page_title) as title, count(page_title) AS count FROM page_title GROUP BY page_title HAVING count > 1
This will return a result like this:
| title | count |
|---|---|
| Buy a green widget | 2 |
| Buy a blue widget | 3 |
| About blue widgets | 2 |
So in this case, the title "Buy a green widget" is used 2 times.
This is a good example of how to get a count of duplicate values for a MySQL table.
