I have a table structure and data below.
I need to remove duplicate record from the table list. My confusion is that when I am firing query
SELECT * FROM `table` GROUP BY CONCAT(`name`,department)
then giving me correct list(12 records).
Same query when I am using the subquery:
SELECT *
FROM `table` WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM `table` GROUP BY CONCAT(`name`,department))
It returning all record which is wrong.
So, My question is why group by
in subquery is not woking.
Actually as Tim mentioned in his answer that it to get first unique record by group by clause is not a standard feature of sql but mysql allows it till mysql5.6.16 version but from 5.6.21 it has been changed.
Just change mysql version in your sql fiddle and check that you will get what you want.
