In this video, we will create a new table with two columns - "name" and ID.
We will then find where a "name" has been used for more than once, and then mark them as duplicates.
You can then review them and manipulate them as you want.

Here is the code for this video:
SELECT *
FROM sys.columns
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tblColumns
GO
SELECT [name], ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS ID
INTO tblColumns
FROM
sys.columns
WITH myTable AS
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [name] ORDER BY ID) - 1 AS RowNumbers
FROM tblColumns
)
SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE RowNumbers != 0
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [name] ORDER BY ID) - 1 AS RowNumbers
FROM tblColumns
ALTER TABLE tblColumns
ADD IsDuplicate INT
UPDATE tblColumns
SET IsDuplicate = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [name] ORDER BY ID) - 1
WITH myTable AS
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY [name] ORDER BY ID) - 1 AS RowNumbers
FROM tblColumns
)
UPDATE myTable
SET IsDuplicate = RowNumbers
SELECT * FROM tblColumns
