Retrieving records fulfilling a condition using GROUP BY

Moak picture Moak · Jan 4, 2010 · Viewed 8.9k times · Source

I'd like to only select the rows where the count is greater than 1 (in other words the duplicates) right now from a few thousand records I am mostly seeing 1s with a few 2s and 3s here and there

SELECT count( * ) AS `Number` , GI . *
FROM `GeneralInformation` AS GI
GROUP BY `FirstName` , `Surname` 

how can I do this?
