Hello,
This probably has been addressed before but I was unable to get the search to work properly on this site.
I am needing a script/way of deleting all rows from a DB with the exception of one record left for each row that has duplicate column data. Example :
Row 1
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc.
Row 2
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =zzzzzz Field 3=xxxxxx Field4=yyyyyy etc.
Row3
Field1 = 12345 Field2 =20202 Field 3=11111 Field4=zzzzz etc.
Row 4
Field1 = 54321 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc.
Etc. Etc.
I want to be able to find the duplicates for Field1 and then delete all but 1 of those rows.( I don't care which one I keep just so only one is left.) The data in the other fields may or may not be unique.
I know how to find the duplicates it's just the deleting part I am having problems with. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Kerry

View 2 Replies View RelatedI ran the following query in Query Analyzer on a machine running SQL Server 2000. I'm attempting to delete from a linked server running SQL Server 2005:
DELETE FROM sql2005.production.dbo.products
WHERE vendor='Foo'
AND productId NOT IN
(
SELECT productId FROM sql2000.staging.dbo.fooProductList
)
The status message (and @@ROWCOUNT) told me 8 rows were affected, but nothing was actually deleted; when I ran a SELECT with the same criteria as the DELETE, all 8 rows are still there. So, once more I tried the DELETE command. This time it told me 7 rows were affected; when I ran the SELECT again, 5 of the rows were still there. Finally, after running this exact same DELETE query 5 times, I was able to remove all 8 rows. Each time it would tell me that a different number of rows had been deleted, and in no case was that number accurate.
I've never seen anything like this before. Neither of the tables involved were undergoing any other changes. There's no replication going on, or anything else that should introduce any delays. And I run queries like this all day, involving every thinkable combination of 2000 and 2005 servers, that don't give me any trouble.
Does anyone have suggestions on what might cause this sort of behavior?

I use a tabel for storin log data from a mail server. I noticed that I'm getting duplicate records, is there a way to delete the socond and/or third entry so I dont have any duplicates?
I need this done in SP.
Sorry for the new thread.
I have a userprofile table. There are a lot of duplicate records in this table. e.g.
USERID-----LASTNAME---EMAILADDRESS----CREATEDATE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1----------A-----------A@yahoo.com---------2000-09-05 16:07:00.000
2----------A-----------A@yahoo.com---------2000-09-10 16:07:00.000
3----------A-----------A@yahoo.com---------2000-09-15 16:07:00.000
Userid is auto number, lastname and emailaddress are PK.
I want to delete duplicate records. If lastname and emailaddress are the same, only keep a record which createdate is the most newest date. See above example I only want to the record which userid is 3. I have alreday created a code which I attached below. This code onle keep a record which userid is 1.
Anybody can help me to solve this problem? Thanks.
============== My current code ====================
delete from userprofile where userprofile.userid in
--list all rows that have duplicates
(select p.userid
from userprofile as p
where exists
(select lastname, emailaddress

where lastname = p.lastname and emailaddress = p.emailaddress
group by lastname, emailaddress
having count (userid)>1))

where lastname = p.lastname and emailaddress = p.emailaddress
group by lastname, emailaddress
having count (userid)>1)
group by lastname, emailaddress)
I have several rows in a table that contain duplicate information. I want to trim them down to one instance per row, without other duplicates.
I have several columns, but only 2 of the columns are used to determine the "Identical Rows", however one of the other columns could also be used to determine which of the others are deleted.
Let's just say I have a table called DATA.
In DATA I have the following columns:
C1: ID/Key column (Unique numbers not associated with any other row)
C2: Specific Data column 1
C3: Specific Data Column 2
C3: Keeper if not null
C4: Misc Info
C5: Misc Info
Basically IF C2 & C3 are duplicated, then I want to keep one of these and ditch the others.
The row I want to keep is the one that has info in C4, but at times C4 does not have anything in it on any of them, at that point I just care about keeping one of the C2 & C3 Duplicate rows.
The other issue I face is C2 will always have something in it, but at times C3 will not and C4 will.
So I want to keep the one duplicate row that has the most info in it. At minimum, I want to always keep C2 & C3 if they both contain data.
For example, if I had the following duplicate rows:
(C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ
(C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ
(C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ
(C2) red (C3) (C4) XYZ
(C2) red (C3) 123 (C4)
I want to keep: (C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ
I have some rows that have three exact duplicates, some that have four, some that have two.
How can I tell the Query Manager to delete all but one instance of each duplicate row?
I did do a query to find out how many duplicates I have and found it to be around 232,000+. Basically I will be cutting this in half if I can get rid of the duplicates.
I have read 30 different ways on many sites and I am now officially confused
Thank you for your help.

Hi All,
I am trying to delete the duplicates from a table, but keep 1 of the records.
Here is my query which works on smaller tables <2000 records, but the query either timeouts or just runs and runs on larger tables >50,000 and >150,000.
DELETE
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1.ID IN
/* LIST 1 - all rows that have duplicates*/
(SELECT F.ID
FROM Table1 AS F
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT computerName, programName, version, publisher, Count(ID)
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1.computerName = F.computerName
AND Table1.programName = F.programName
AND Table1.version = F.version
AND Table1.publisher = F.publisher
GROUP BY Table1.computerName, Table1.programName, Table1.version, Table1.publisher
HAVING Count(Table1.ID) > 1))
AND Table1.ID NOT IN
/* LIST 2 - one row from each set of duplicate*/
(SELECT Min(ID)
FROM Table1 AS F
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT computerName, programName, version, publisher, Count(ID)
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1.computerName = F.computerName
AND Table1.programName = F.programName
AND Table1.version = F.version
AND Table1.publisher = F.publisher
GROUP BY Table1.computerName, Table1.programName, Table1.version, Table1.publisher
HAVING Count(Table1.ID) > 1)
GROUP BY computerName, programName, version, publisher);

3 COMP1Windows Media Player 10 NULL NULL NULL
4 COMP1Microsoft .NET Framework 1.11.1.4322Microsoft 02/16/2005
The duplicate records i am trying to delete are not truly duplicates, each record has a unique ID and install dates could vary. I am trying to identify duplicate records as identical (computerName + programName + version + publisher) See records 1 and 4 in table structure above... i dont care which of the duplicates is kept, as long as 1 is kept.
What I am looking for is either a completely new query which maybe optimized to run on a larger scale table or maybe just a performance tweak to my exisitng query??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I have a little dilemma. I have a table ALLTABLE that has duplicate records and I want to delete them. ALLTABLE has these columns with these values for example:
Policy Premium Class State Entity Number
ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 1
ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 2
ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 3
ADC-WC-0010005-0 1457 63 29 4
ADC-WC-0010092-1 2322 63 37 1
ADC-WC-0010344-0 515 63 01 1
ADC-WC-0010344-0 515 63 01 2
As you can see there is some duplicates in the first 3 rows and the final 2 (the entity number is the only difference). I want the table to look like this:
Policy Premium Class State Entity Number
ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 1
ADC-WC-0010005-0 1457 63 29 4
ADC-WC-0010092-1 2322 63 37 1
ADC-WC-0010344-0 515 63 01 1
Thank you so much for the help. It is really appreciated.

I have inherited a database with no primary keys in it. :(
There are, of course, duplicate records by the "logical key", i.e., the list of columns that should have been used in a primary key, if they only had one. I can easily identify when I have duplicate records using group by and having clauses. That's the easy part.I can identify duplicate records by "key columns" and the subset of those records that are "identical duplicates on all columns". I need to delete the "extra copies"
I can't do it by hand using sql server manager, it won't let me, because it recognizes that more than one row matches that row. In Oracle, I would use the pseudo-column "rowid", which would expose the internal identifier for the row.SqlServer doesn't appear to have this concept. is there another way other than creating an empty shadow table, copying all the distinct duplicate records into the shadow table, deleting all the duplicates in the old table, then copying the distinct duplicates back into the old table.
Hello All,
