Answer / anil sharma

In sqlserver 2000 we must use a unique id per row then we
can delete duplicate rows.

delete from <tablename> where <rowid> not in (select min
(<rowid> from <tablename> group by co1,col2.)


But in sqlserver 2005 there a function RowId.Which is same
as above concept.It return unique id per row.
