I’d like to only select the rows where the count is greater than 1 (in other words the duplicates) right now from a few thousand records i am mostly seeing ones with a few 2s and 3s here and there
Use the Having clause
SELECT count( * ) AS `Number` , GI . *
FROM `GeneralInformation` AS GI
GROUP BY `FirstName` , `Surname`
HAVING count( * ) > 1
