Finding duplicate rows that differ in multiple columns: Using CONCAT for multiple columns ex: column_1, column_2
SELECT count(*) count, CONCAT( `column_1`, `column_2` ) 'key' FROM `table_name` GROUP BY CONCAT( `column_1`, `column_2` ) HAVING count > 1;
or
SELECT tmp.key FROM ( SELECT count(*) count, CONCAT( `column_1`, `column_2` ) 'key' FROM `table_name` GROUP BY CONCAT( `column_1`, `column_2` ) ) tmp WHERE tmp.count >=2
