Question

I simply want to return duplicate records from a table. In my case, a record is duplicate if more than one record has the same value in col1, col2, col3, and col4.

Answer 1

SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4
     , COUNT(*) AS cnt
FROM yourTable
GROUP BY col1, col2, col3, col4
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1

If there are additional columns that you want to be shown, you can JOIN the above to the table:

SELECT t.*
     , dup.cnt
FROM yourTable t
    JOIN
      ( SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4
             , COUNT(*) AS cnt
        FROM yourTable
        GROUP BY col1, col2, col3, col4
        HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
      ) AS dup
      ON  t.col1 = dup.col1
      AND t.col2 = dup.col2
      AND t.col3 = dup.col3
      AND t.col4 = dup.col4
