SQL query, count and group by *

Question

If I have data like this:

+---+----+
|Key|Name|
+---+----+
|1  |Dan |
+---+----+
|2  |Tom |
+---+----+
|3  |Jon |
+---+----+
|4  |Tom |
+---+----+
|5  |Sam |
+---+----+
|6  |Dan |
+---+----+

What is the SQL query to bring back the records where Name is repeated 2 or more times?

So the result I would want is

 +---+
 |Tom|
 +---+
 |Dan|
 +---+

Answer

Couldn't be simpler...

Select
Name,
Count(Name) As Count
From
Table
Group By
Name
Having
Count(Name) > 1
Order By
Count(Name) Desc

This could also be extended to delete duplicates:

Delete
From
Table
Where
Key In (
    Select
    Max(Key)
    From
    Table
    Group By
    Name
    Having
Count(Name) > 1)
