postgresql找到表中重复数据的行并删除
创建测试表并插入数据
create table aaa(id bigserial,col1 varchar(255));insert into aaa values(1,'b'),(2,'a'),(3,'b'),(4,'c');select * from aaa;找到重复行并删除
方法1：ctid表示数据行在它所处的表内的物理位置，ctid由两个数字组成，第一个数字表示物理块号，第二个数字表示在物理块中的行号。
select * from aaa where ctid not in(select max(ctid) from aaa group by col1);删除重复行
delete from aaa where ctid not in(select max(ctid) from aaa group by col1);方法2：利用exists
找到重复行
select * from aaa t1 where exists (select 1 from aaa t2 where t1.col1=t2.col1 and t1.id<t2.id )----exists后的意思是同一列相等，但是自增id不相等且id小的那一个删除重复行
delete from aaa t1 where exists (select 1 from aaa t2 where t1.col1=t2.col1 and t1.id<t2.id )postgresql常用的删除重复数据方法
最高效方法
测试环境验证，6600万行大表，删除2200万重复数据仅需3分钟
delete from deltest a where a.ctid = any(array (select ctid from (select row_number() over (partition by id), ctid from deltest) t where t.row_number > 1));PG中三种删除重复数据方法
首先创建一张基础表，并插入一定量的重复数据。
create table deltest(id int, name varchar(255));
create table deltest_bk (like deltest);
insert into deltest select generate_series(1, 10000), 'ZhangSan';
insert into deltest select generate_series(1, 10000), 'ZhangSan';
insert into deltest_bk select * from deltest;1. 常规删除方法
最容易想到的方法就是判断数据是否重复，对于重复的数据只保留ctid最小（或最大）的数据，删除其他的。
explain analyse delete from deltest a where a.ctid <> (select min(t.ctid) from deltest t where a.id=t.id);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete on deltest a (cost=0.00..195616.30 rows=1518 width=6) (actual time=67758.866..67758.866 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on deltest a (cost=0.00..195616.30 rows=1518 width=6) (actual time=32896.517..67663.228 rows=10000 loops=1)
Filter: (ctid <> (SubPlan 1))
Rows Removed by Filter: 10000
SubPlan 1
-> Aggregate (cost=128.10..128.10 rows=1 width=6) (actual time=3.374..3.374 rows=1 loops=20000)
-> Seq Scan on deltest t (cost=0.00..128.07 rows=8 width=6) (actual time=0.831..3.344 rows=2 loops=20000)
Filter: (a.id = id)
Rows Removed by Filter: 19998
Total runtime: 67758.931 ms
select count(*) from deltest;
count
-------
10000可以看到，id相同的数据，保留ctid最小的，其他的删除。相当于把deltest表中的数据删掉一半，耗时达到67s多。相当慢。
2. group by删除方法
group by方法通过分组找到ctid最小的数据，然后删除其他数据。
explain analyse delete from deltest a where a.ctid not in (select min(ctid) from deltest group by id);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete on deltest a (cost=131.89..2930.46 rows=763 width=6) (actual time=30942.496..30942.496 rows=0 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on deltest a (cost=131.89..2930.46 rows=763 width=6) (actual time=10186.296..30814.366 rows=10000 loops=1)
Filter: (NOT (SubPlan 1))
Rows Removed by Filter: 10000
SubPlan 1
-> Materialize (cost=131.89..134.89 rows=200 width=10) (actual time=0.001..0.471 rows=7500 loops=20000)
-> HashAggregate (cost=131.89..133.89 rows=200 width=10) (actual time=10.568..13.584 rows=10000 loops=1)
-> Seq Scan on deltest (cost=0.00..124.26 rows=1526 width=10) (actual time=0.006..3.829 rows=20000 loops=1)
Total runtime: 30942.819 ms
select count(*) from deltest;
count
-------
10000可以看到同样是删除一半的数据，使用group by的方式，时间节省了一半。但仍含需要30s，下面试一下第三种删除操作。
3. 高效删除方法
explain analyze delete from deltest a where a.ctid = any(array (select ctid from (select row_number() over (partition by id), ctid from deltest) t where t.row_number > 1));
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete on deltest a (cost=250.74..270.84 rows=10 width=6) (actual time=98.363..98.363 rows=0 loops=1)

select count(*) from deltest;

-------
10000可以看到，居然只要98ms
