Determinie the number of duplicate or more value in Oracle table

I need help converting this MS Access query statement into an oracle state to find the number of duplicate records in a field in oracle.
This is the MS Access query, can someone help me convert it to oracle.


SELECT First(s.OBJECT_ID) AS OBJECT_ID, Count(s.OBJECT_ID) AS NumberOfDups
FROM STORAGE_LOCATION s
GROUP BY s.OBJECT_ID
HAVING (((Count(s.OBJECT_ID))>1));

SELECT *
  FROM (SELECT s.object_id AS object_id, COUNT(s.object_id) AS numberofdups
          FROM storage_location s
        GROUP BY s.object_id
        HAVING COUNT(s.object_id) > 1)
 WHERE ROWNUM = 1;


Your use of FIRST on a the group by criteria is a bit strange.  I don't think you're going to get what you want in Access with that query (functionally, it doesn't do anything in the way you're using it)

The query above is my guess at what you're really trying to do.'
The query below is a more direct translation of the actual functionality

SELECT s.object_id AS object_id, COUNT(s.object_id) AS numberofdups
          FROM storage_location s
        GROUP BY s.object_id
        HAVING COUNT(s.object_id) > 1

No split?  Isn't the second one the same thing in the first post?
