how to select query with no duplicate rows in mysql code example

Example 1: mysql delete duplicate rows but keep one

DELETE c1 FROM contacts c1
INNER JOIN contacts c2 
WHERE
    c1.id > c2.id AND 
    c1.email = c2.email;

Example 2: mysql find duplicates in same table

## Find ALL duplicate recods by value (without grouping them by value) ##
# to find the duplicate, 
# replace all instances of tableName with your table name
# and all instances of duplicateField with the field name where you look for duplicates
SELECT t1.*
FROM tableName AS t1
INNER JOIN(
	SELECT duplicateField
	FROM tableName
	GROUP BY duplicateField
	HAVING COUNT(duplicateField) > 1
)temp ON t1.duplicateField = temp.duplicateField
order by duplicateField
