Peter...

Microsoft Access uses a technique like

SELECT Name FROM Phonelist As Tmp GROUP BY Name Having COUNT(*) > 1

to find duplicates, triplicates,... in a table.

The whole query for a phonelist table is actually

SELECT Name, Phone, Loc
FROM Phonelist
WHERE Name In (SELECT Name FROM Phonelist As Tmp GROUP BY Name HAVING
Count(*)>1 )
ORDER BY Name

I tried both queries with InstantDB version 3.10 and JDK 1.1.8 with
Swing  and each gives the following basic error in my application's
logfile:

Attempted query - SELECT Name FROM Phonelist As Tmp GROUP BY Name Having
COUNT(*) > 1
AWT-EventQueue-0 SELECT Name FROM Phonelist As Tmp GROUP BY Name Having
COUNT(*) > 1
AWT-EventQueue-0 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2 >= 2
java.sql.SQLException: 2 >= 2

I think the problem may be with InstantDB Syntax not allowing a
search_condition such as COUNT(*) > 1.
I know when I replaced the "> 1" with a "> 2" I got an identical error.

Is this something you could fix, or is this not a compliant SQL query,
and rather a Microsoft Access extension?

I do know that this is a very useful query for finding errors in data
entry.
