duplicates

Find and return the duplicated rows in a data extract.

Introduction

Use the duplicates enrichment to find and return the duplicated rows in a data extract. Unique rows are removed from the data extract.

Creating the enrichment

For more information on creating an enrichment, see Using custom scripts.

Configuring the enrichment

To configure the enrichment, fill in the following fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Key

Enter the names of the columns where Adverity checks for duplicated rows.

Select a column in one of the following ways:

• Select String and enter the name of the column.

• Select Integer and enter the position of the column in the data extract as an index value. Counting starts at 0. To select the first column, enter 0. To select the second column, enter 1. To select the last column in the data extract, enter -1.

Leave this field empty to check all columns in the data extract.

Presorted

Select this checkbox if the rows in the Data Extract have been sorted before the enrichment runs

Subtable

Enter the name for a subtable that you want to contain the enriched data. The enrichment is applied to the whole data extract, then the enriched data is output into the subtable you have named here.

This subtable is a temporary table, which means it only exists for this custom script. You can apply additional instructions within the same custom script to the subtable. However, the subtable cannot be used in any other custom scripts.
