I have an SQL Server 2012 table with ID, First Name
and Last name
. The ID
is unique per person but due to an error in the historical feed, different people were assigned the same id.
------------------------------
ID FirstName LastName
------------------------------
1 ABC M
1 ABC M
1 ABC M
1 ABC N
2 BCD S
3 CDE T
4 DEF T
4 DEG T
In this case, the people with ID’s
1 are different (their last name is clearly different) but they have the same ID
. How do I query and get the result? The table in this case has millions of rows. If it was a smaller table, I would probably have queried all ID’s
with a count > 1
and filtered them in an excel.
What I am trying to do is, get a list of all such ID's
which have been assigned to two different users.
Any ideas or help would be very appreciated.
Edit: I dont think I framed the question very well.
There are two ID's which are present multiple time. 1 and 4. The rows with id 4 are identical. I dont want this in my result. The rows with ID 1, although the first name is same, the last name is different for 1 row. I want only those ID's whose ID is same but one of the first or last names is different.
I tried loading ID's which have multiple occurrences into a temp table and tried to compare it against the parent table albeit unsuccessfully. Any other ideas that I can try and implement?
