Answer / pooja narang
We will get the duplicate records and insert them into a
new temp table by using below query:
select * into tmp_Employee
from Employee
having count(distinct *) > 1
Now delete the duplicate records from Employee table:
delete from Employee
having count(distinct *) > 1
Now insert the records from tmp_Employee to Employee table:
insert into Employee
select * from tmp_employee
drop table tmp_employee
