Hum, I've noticed that a lot of people ask MySQL questions here. Is this normal? I don't mind, I'm just curious. Rephrasing your question a might is: can I display all records in the table "foo" where the value in "field" in non-unique? Well, I don't see how you can get this information from a self-join. Oh, you can use a self-join in MySQL. I just can't figure out a way to answer the above question with it. In PostgreSQL, you can answer the above question with the query: SELECT * FROM table WHERE (SELECT field FROM table GROUP BY field HAVING COUNT(field)>1); This query gets a syntax error in MySQL 2.23.23-beta, which is what I'm running at home.
