Answer / srikanth

1. use group by clause with the field on which you want to
check for duplicates

Ex: select salary,count (*) from employee group by salary
having count (*)>1

2. Use the below query to delete the duplicate records (not
the original ones)

SET ROWCOUNT 1
DELETE yourtable
FROM yourtable a
WHERE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yourtable b WHERE b.name1 =
a.name1 AND b.age1 = a.age1) > 1
WHILE @@rowcount > 0
DELETE yourtable
FROM yourtable a
WHERE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yourtable b WHERE b.name1 =
a.name1 AND b.age1 = a.age1) > 1
SET ROWCOUNT 0

Answer / meher

1. To get the duplicate records.
Use group by clause to the column on which you want to
check the duplicates records.
syntax:
select column_name, count(*) from table_name group by
column_name having count(*) >1

2. To delete the duplicate records.
syntax:
delete from table_name where rowid in (select max(rowid)
from table_name group by column_name having count(*)>1 )

This will work.
Please let me know in case of any issues.
