Your question is SQL Duplicate Detection. Start with the requirements and the one table on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

Euronet Worldwide needs to identify duplicate customer profiles in its customer master table before downstream payment and transfer workflows use the wrong record. Write a SQL query to find all duplicated profiles based on the same first name, last name, and date of birth.

Requirements

Return each duplicate profile group once, with the shared identifying fields.
Include a duplicate_count showing how many rows share that profile.
Only return groups with more than one row.
Sort results by duplicate_count descending, then by name.
