Find duplicate columns that have values that end with same last four digits - SQL

问题

I need a query that will search for all records in a table and return only the ones that have 2 or more values that end with same 4 digits, but i dont have specific four digits i can give you, i just need it to find everything that has more than one value that ends the same. eg. table has:

person_number------------name
==============================
1234567------------------john 
00004567-----------------mark
9999999------------------mike
0009999------------------lidia
10101010-----------------alex
23232323-----------------matt
98748484-----------------steve

I want it to return only:

person_number------------name
==============================
1234567------------------john 
00004567-----------------mark
9999999------------------mike
0009999------------------lidia

You see, i want it to return duplicates that end with the same last 4 digits, but i dont have specific digits to give you so i cant use something like '%9999'. It also needs to be sorted properly so I have them next to each other. I need to find duplicates and delete one of them, but i dont know which one until i actually see all the other values in other columns and pick which one to delete manually.

Thanks!

I just want extend Sick answer.

You say you will like to choose which one to eliminate. But you can also include a ORDER clausule with a CASE statment to filter the one you want eliminate.

In this case I order by "name" so you can delete all with rn > 1 and keep the first name.

SqlFiddleDemo

select "person_number", "name", rn, zero_count
from
(
  select "person_number", 
         "name", 
         substr("person_number", 1, 1),
         count(1) over (partition by substr("person_number",-4)) as Cnt,
         SUM(case 
             when substr("person_number", 1, 1)  = '0' then 1
             else 0 end) over (partition by substr("person_number",-4)) as zero_count,
          row_number() over (partition by substr("person_number",-4) order by "name") as rn
  from person
)
Where Cnt > 1
and zero_count > 0
ORDER BY substr("person_number",-4)

I increase the data sample

now include a field zero_count to calculate how many rows start with 0 in each group
case where both row have same 4 char at the end and also start with 0 (ZERO_COUNT = 2)
case when a row without match also start with 0

Try this

select person_number,name
from
(
    select person_number,name,count(1)over(partition by right(person_number,4)) as Cnt
    from YourTable
)
Where Cnt > 1
