SQL Duplicate Product Listings

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How would you use SQL to find duplicate product listings?

Treat listings with the same product_name, brand, and category as duplicates. Return only attribute combinations appearing more than once.

Output

  1. One row per duplicated attribute combination
  2. Columns: product_name, brand, category, and listing_count
  3. Sort by listing_count descending, then product attributes ascending with NULL values last

Schema
