Get all duplicate records from database into a List of Lists
So i needed to write a method that gets all people that have the same email as each other and I came up with this:
// This is from our Framework, as we're not actually using
// But this is basically a `Person.Where(x => x.IsActive)` query
// And returns all persons that are active
var people = Querier.Person.AttrQuery(x => x.IsActive).AsQueryable<Person>().ToList()M
// A 2D List, where every inner list is a set of duplicate people
var duplicates = new List<List<Person>> {new List<Person>()};
var last = new Person();
foreach (var person in people)
{
if (person.Email == last.Email)
duplicates.Last().Add(person);
else
duplicates.Add(new List<Person>());
}
// Remove all empty Lists and all Lists without any duplicates
duplicates = duplicates.Where(x => x.Count > 1).ToList();
// Here is where magic happens, I select all the lists
duplicates = duplicates
.SelectMany(x => x)
.GroupBy(x => x.Email)
.Select(x => new List<Person>(x.ToList()))
.ToList();
This returns correctly, but is also very verbose for something that could be done much easier with SQL. Is there any better way?
