Find duplicate entries

Rails
1

Hey all,

i create a hash from an description field to find equal entries.
Now i want to show only the entries with an equal hash.
(Hash value is stored in text_hash field on the model)

I try :group => ‘text_hash’ but i dont figure out the where condition.
(Where Count(*) > 2 something like this… )

Can this be done with minimum?

Thanks for help :slight_smile:

I think i have a solution:

:group => "text_hash having count(text_hash) > 2

but how to :order, :order => ‘text_hash DESC’ seems not to work :-/

Perhaps i have to sort the result collection…

you need a ‘having’ clause to filter on an aggregate function such as
count. rails 2.3 allows you to pass :having => ‘…’ with old versions
you need to do mucky stuff like :group => ‘text_hash having something
2’

You need to clean up your question. It makes no sense. Please be
clearer if you want a response.
