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.

I know the difference and I am somewhat familiar with SQL and have SQL admin with my host. I have modified php and cgi scripts but have never actually written a script from scratch. So I may have someone write a script for me or just live with a few duplicates which I think I know must exist. I just thought there may be software that would do the work for me. Apparently not.
Thanks guys for the input.
