Answer / nithin

Hi
I could possibly think of only one solution without using
group by clause.

create table emp_bkp as select distinct * from employee
drop table employee
rename emp_bkp to employee

Let me know if there is any other possible answer

Answer / harikanth

Suppose Table name is Dup_Del with id as a column(consists
10,20,30,10,10,30,20)then

select * from Dup_Del
where rowid not in(select * from
(select min(rowid) from Dup_Del
group by id
);
the above query will give you the duplicate records. if you
want unique records then

select * from Dup_Del
where rowid in(select * from
(select min(rowid) from Dup_Del
group by id
);
