write a query to delete similar records in same table
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
I think simply we can do like the following..
1. First we have to transfer all data from a table to
temporary table
create table Temp_table as select * from original_table;
2. Delete all record from Original Table....
delete original_table;
3. Now we can write a query by using INSERT and UNION
If any issue let me know....
insert into original_table (select * from temp_table
UNION select * from UNION )

delete from temp t1 where rowid<(select max(rowid) from temp
t2 where t1.empno=t2.empno) order by empno;
or
--create new table n insert records.
create table t1 as select distinct * from temp;
or
(truncate table)
truncate table t1;

Answer / swapna
One way is to rename the original table to something else,
and copy the unique records into the original table.
rename 'Table2', 'Table1'
select distinct * into Table2 from Table1
drop table1
