To identify duplicate emails, you can use the SQL GROUP BY clause, which groups rows that have the same values in specified columns into summary rows. Use the COUNT function to count the occurrences of each email, followed by the HAVING clause to filter the groups with more than one occurrence.
Time Complexity: O(N), where N is the number of rows in the table. The query needs to scan all rows to perform the grouping and counting.
Space Complexity: O(1), as it uses a fixed amount of space independent of the size of the input data, assuming a reasonable number of distinct emails.
1SELECT email FROM Person GROUP BY email HAVING COUNT(email) > 1;
This SQL query selects the 'email' column from the Person
table. The GROUP BY
clause groups the rows by email, and HAVING COUNT(email) > 1
ensures that only groups with more than one occurrence are selected, effectively identifying duplicates.
Another approach to solve the problem of finding duplicate emails is by using a temporary table to store the counts of each email and then selecting from this table. This method might be helpful when performing complex operations in intermediate steps.
Time Complexity: O(N) due to grouping and counting operations over the entire table.
Space Complexity: Additional O(M) space for the temporary table, where M is the number of distinct emails.
1CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE email_counts AS SELECT email, COUNT(*) as cnt FROM Person GROUP
This approach involves using a hash map or dictionary to count the occurrences of each email in the table. Once we have the counts, we can identify which emails appear more than once and output them.
Time Complexity: O(n*m), where n is the number of emails and m is the average length of an email.
Space Complexity: O(n), for storing unique emails and their counts.

Here, we will utilize SQL to directly query the table and find duplicates by grouping the records based on the email and using a HAVING clause to filter out emails that appear more than once.
Time Complexity: O(n log n), as it involves sorting or grouping.
Space Complexity: O(n), used by the GROUP BY for intermediate storage.
1SELECT email FROM Person GROUP BY email HAVING COUNT(id) > 1;
This SQL query groups the records in the Person table by email and then filters for groups having more than one record (i.e., duplicate emails) using the HAVING clause.
Firstly, create a temporary table, email_counts
, to store each distinct email along with its count resulting from GROUP BY email
. Then, select only those emails from this temporary table where the count, `cnt`, is greater than 1, indicating duplicates.
This Java code uses a HashMap to count how many times each email occurs. We populate the map by checking if the email is already present and incrementing the count. We then print all emails that have a count greater than one.
