从表中删除重复项,然后将引用行重新链接到新的主表 [英] Remove duplicates from a table and re-link referencing rows to the new master
问题描述
我有一个表转录
,其中包含转录文本的段落及其带有列的引用:
I have a table transcription
which contains passages of transcribed text and their citations with columns:
文本,transcription_id(PK),t_notes,引文
和第二个表 town_transcription
是将文本中引用的位置(来自另一个表)链接到该转录记录的关系表。该表具有以下列:
and the second table town_transcription
being the relationship table that links places (from another table) referenced in the text to that transcription record. This table has the columns:
town_id(FK),transcription_id(FK),confidence_interval
这些文字中有许多引用了多个城镇,但愚蠢的我只是复制了记录并将它们分别链接到每个城镇。我已使用以下SQL查询确定了重复的文本行:
Many of these passages of text reference multiple towns, but stupidly I just duplicated records and linked them individually to each town. I have identified the duplicate rows of text using the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM transcription aa
WHERE (select count(*) from transcription bb
WHERE (bb.text = aa.text) AND (bb.citation = aa.citation)) > 1
ORDER BY text ASC;
我现在有大约2000行(某些文本的2到6个重复)需要删除 transcription
表中多余的 transcription_id
并更改 transcription_id
从关系表 town_transcription
中指向剩余的,现在唯一的转录记录。通过阅读其他问题,我认为可能有必要使用 UPDATE FROM
和 INNER JOIN
,但是我真的不知道如何实现这一目标,我只是一个初学者,感谢您的帮助。
I now have about 2000 rows (2 to 6 duplicates of some text passages) where I need to delete the extra transcription_id
's from the transcription
table and change the transcription_id
from the relationship table, town_transcription
, to point to the remaining, now unique, transcription record. From reading other questions, I think utilizing UPDATE FROM
and INNER JOIN
might be necessary, but I really don't know how to implement this, I'm just a beginner, thanks for any help.
推荐答案
这条命令应该可以完成所有操作:
This single command should do it all:
WITH blacklist AS ( -- identify duplicate IDs and their master
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT transcription_id
, min(transcription_id) OVER (PARTITION BY text, citation) AS master_id
FROM transcription
) sub
WHERE transcription_id <> master_id
)
, upd AS ( -- redirect referencing rows
UPDATE town_transcription tt
SET transcription_id = b.master_id
FROM blacklist b
WHERE b.transcription_id = tt.transcription_id
)
DELETE FROM transcription t -- kill dupes (now without reference)
USING blacklist b
WHERE b.transcription_id = t.transcription_id;
由于缺乏定义,我选择了每组ID最小的行作为尚存的主行。
For lack of definition I chose the row with the smallest ID per group as surviving master row.
除非您具有非默认设置,否则FK约束不会妨碍您。详细说明:
FK constraints don't get in the way unless you have non-default settings. Detailed explanation:
- How to remove duplicate rows with foreign keys dependencies?
- Delete duplicates and reroute referencing rows to new master
现在,您可能想要添加 UNIQUE
约束以防止再次发生相同的错误:
After removing the dupes you might now want to add a UNIQUE
constraint to prevent the same error from reoccurring:
ALTER TABLE transcription
ADD CONSTRAINT transcription_uni UNIQUE (text, citation);
