Some but not all are duplicated. What can I do to sort > this out? It means that (e, n) pairs are not unique in A and B and you got a superposition of them. If you have 5 equal pairs in A and 7 same pairs with in B you will get 35 combinations as a result. And BTW when you use LEFT JOIN if there are rows in A that have no matching pairs in B you will get one row for each of them where lan and lon are NULLs.
