ok databases dont have duplicates tables do
if you dont know the difference you have no business trying to do anything with it
sql is simply a language for adding deleting updateing and retrieving data from the tables It also has provisions for some data management and indexing
mysql IS an RDBMS
and a damn good one, probably better than almost anyone here will ever need. I remember some idiot once suggesting Oracle to manage a 1K member password file...now theres a moron.
If you know sql and any scripting language, writing a script to de-dupe a table is a cakewalk
If you don't, pay someone who does.
