如何删除重复行并更新表

我的表中有重复的行。

我有两个通过外键连接的表

regions (id)
orders (region_id)

这些地区有重复的名称。我想删除这些重复的行并更新订单表，重复的外键现在将设置为仅保留区域表中的现有名称。

Example:

regions table:

id  name
1 | test
2 | test
3 | foo

orders table:

id region_id
6 | 1
7 | 2
9 | 3

I want

orders table:

id region_id
6 | 1
7 | 1
9 | 3

regions table:

id  name
1 | test
3 | foo

我可以使用以下 SQL 获取重复行：

SELECT name, count(id) as cnt FROM regions 
GROUP BY name HAVING cnt > 1

如何将此选择与订单表连接并删除重复的行并更新表？

要更新订单表，类似于：

update  orders
join    regions r1
on      r1.id = orders.region_id
set     orders.region_id = 
        (
        select  min(r2.id)
        from    regions r2
        where   r2.name = r1.name
        )

之后，您可以使用以下命令删除重复的行：

delete  regions
from    regions
where   id not in
        (
        select  id
        from    (
                select  min(id) as id
                from    regions
                group by
                    name
                ) as SubqueryAlias
        )

需要双重子查询以避免MySQL错误ERROR 1093 (HY000) at line 36: You can't specify target table 'regions' for update in FROM clause.
