Aquí hay un proceso de eliminación más ágil:
CREATE TABLE emailUnique LIKE emailTable;
ALTER TABLE emailUnique ADD UNIQUE INDEX (email);
INSERT IGNORE INTO emailUnique SELECT * FROM emailTable;
SELECT * FROM emailUnique;
ALTER TABLE emailTable RENAME emailTable_old;
ALTER TABLE emailUnique RENAME emailTable;
DROP TABLE emailTable_old;
Aquí hay algunos datos de muestra:
use test
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS emailTable;
CREATE TABLE `emailTable` (
`id` mediumint(9) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`email` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
INSERT INTO emailTable (email) VALUES
('redwards@gmail.com'),
('redwards@gmail.com'),
('redwards@gmail.com'),
('redwards@gmail.com'),
('rolandoedwards@gmail.com'),
('rolandoedwards@gmail.com'),
('rolandoedwards@gmail.com'),
('red@gmail.com'),
('red@gmail.com'),
('red@gmail.com'),
('rolandoedwards@gmail.com'),
('rolandoedwards@gmail.com'),
('rolandoedwards@comcast.net'),
('rolandoedwards@comcast.net'),
('rolandoedwards@comcast.net');
SELECT * FROM emailTable;
Los corrí. Aquí están los resultados:
mysql> use test

mysql> DROP TABLE IF EXISTS emailTable;

Como se muestra, emailTable contendrá la primera aparición de cada dirección de correo electrónico y la identificación original correspondiente. Para este ejemplo:
- Las ID 1-4 tienen redwards@gmail.com, pero solo 1 se conservó.
- Las identificaciones 5-7,11,12 tienen rolandoedwards@gmail.com, pero solo se conservaron 5.
- Las identificaciones 8-10 tienen red@gmail.com, pero solo se conservaron 8.
- Las identificaciones 13-15 tienen rolandoedwards@comcast.net, pero solo se conservaron 13.
