Answer / sivadasan

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 )

Answer / umadevi

--deletes records within table without changing table name
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;
insert into t1 select distinct * from temp;

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

there is A table and B table in A table there 5 rows and in b table there are 2 rows i am firing query select * from a,b what will be the output?

SELECT emp_num, years, SUM(salary) FROM sales UNION ALL SELECT emp_id, SUM(takehomepay) FROM marketing What error is present in the sample code above? 1. Queries being combined with the UNION ALL statement are not allowed to have SELECT lists with a different number of expressions. 2. You are not allowed to use aggregate functions within two queries joined by a UNION ALL statement. 3. The UNION ALL statement incorrectly combines the "years" result from the first query with the "SUM (takehomepay)" result from the second query. 4. Unless the UNION ALL statement is replaced with a UNION statement, the queries will return duplicates. 5. The "emp_id" column from the second query must be renamed (or aliased) as "emp_num" so that it corresponds to the column name from the first query. Otherwise, the queries will not execute.
