Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/22

Less slow

select emailaddress,customername from customers where emailaddress in
(select emailaddress from customers group by emailaddress having count(*) > 1)

Slow

select emailaddress,customername from Customers a where exists
(select emailaddress from customers c where a.customerName != c.customerName and a.EmailAddress = c.EmailAddress)
