Correct Answer
SELECT email, COUNT(*) AS duplicate_count
FROM customers
GROUP BY email
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;Explanation
GROUP BY email creates one group per email value. HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 keeps only groups with duplicates.
Common Mistakes
- Using WHERE COUNT(*) > 1.
- Grouping by id, which makes every row its own group.
- Selecting name when the output is one row per email value.
