Hi Willem,

Could you provide more details?  Do you get a specific error message?

You should not expect the same row count in both source table and
result set.  Even in your example -- you provided 8 source rows, and
4 result rows.  You can determine the correct number of results via
"the number of records, related to client_ids having two or more records 
in all_client_times, minus one".  It may be true that you have 750k
records but only 658 rows that satisfy this requirement.

What do you get for this query?

select count(*) from ( select client_id, count(*) as rows 
from all_client_times group by client_id having count(*) > 1 ) as x
