Hi guys
I have been using SQL server 2005. I have got a huge table with about 1 million rows.
Problem is this table has got duplicate rows in lot of places. I need to remove the these duplicates. Is there an easy way to do that??
Is there a query in SQL to remove duplicate rows???
thanks

I have a results table that was created from many different sources in SSIS. I have done calculations and created derived columns in it. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove duplicate rows from this table without first writing it to a temp sql table and then parsing through it to remove them.
each row has a like key in a column - I would like to remove like rows keeping specific columns in the resulting row based on the data in this key field.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Ad.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 4 tables (SqlServer2000/2005). In the select query, I have FULL JOINED all the four tables A,B,C,D as I want all the data. The result is as sorted by DDATE desc:-
AID BID BNAME DDATE DAUTHOR
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:42:21.610 c@d.com
1 1 abcxyz 2008-01-20 23:41:52.970 a@b.com

Now, I want unique rows from the above result set like :-

2 3 pqrlmn NULL NULL
2 4 cdefgh NULL NULL
I want to remove the duplicate rows and show only the unique rows but contains all the data from the first table A. I have to bind this result set to a nested GridView.
I have a dataset in my report that pulls 10 fields. One of the tablixes on report should display only 8 of the 10 fields and this is causing the duplicate records to show up on the tablix.I tried hide duplicates option for the entire details row and have set the scope to "Details". It did not work. I am getting the data from a stored procedure and cannot do much on that.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf we want to remove the duplicate row and leave only one row instead of 2 or 3 rows for example with the same column values.

Thanks a lot.
Hi,
Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005.
I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :-
SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads
FROM
Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid
FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid
GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate
ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC
Whose result set is as below:-
forumid
topicid
name
author
lastpostdate
NoOfThreads

Thanks in Advance..........
I need a SSIS Package that compares the two tables and removes the rows in the first table with keys that do not exist in the second table. For example....
I have a table of returns based on returnID. In another table I have returnErrors that are based on returnID as well. I want a package that will uses my returns table as a source and compares that dataset to the dataset of the returnError and remove or spilt the data so that my remaining dataset only has returns that have returnErrors. I can do this in T-SQL, but I am looking for a SSIS solution that uses the conditional split transformation or some other transformation(s) combinations.

I have an SQL tables [Keys] that has various rows such as:
[ID] [Name] [Path] [Customer]
1 Key1 Key1 InHouse
2 Key2 Key2 External
3 Key1 Key1 InHouse
4 Key1 Key1 InHouse
5 Key1 Key1 InHouse
Obviously IDs 1,3,4,5 are all exactly the same and I would like to be left with only:
[ID] [Name] [Path] [Customer]
1 Key1 Key1 InHouse
2 Key2 Key2 External
I cannot create a new table/database or change the unique identifier (which is currently ID) either. I simply need an SQL script I can run to clean out the duplicates (I know how they got there and the issue has been fixed but the Database is still currently invalid due to all these duplicate entires).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion as to how to delete duplicate rows from a table. I have been doing this:
SELECT * INTO TempUsersNoRepeats
FROM TempUsers2
UNION
SELECT * FROM TempUsers3
This way I end up with a total of four tables (the fourth table being the original Users table) and I was hoping that there was a way that I could do this all within the the original Users table and not have to create the three TempUsers tables.
Thanks,

I am using SLQ Server 2008 R2. The database was designed by another company.
I have two tables: Client and Client_Location. In the Client table the pk is Client_ID. There is also a unique key: sys_Client_ID. Both the Client_ID and the sys_Client_ID fields exist as a foreign keys in the Client_Location table. However, the fields are not noted as unique in the Client_Location table. There are two fields in the Client_Location table that determine when the address was effective. They are from_dt and end_dt.
Multiple records have been loaded into the Client_Location table to track old as well as current addresses of clients.
I'm trying to run a report that will pull clients with a plan_id constraint from the Client table and join the Client_Location table to retrieve the current address of these clients.
My SQL is:
select distinct (a.client_id), a.cli_last AS Last_Name,
a.cli_first AS First_Name, a.cli_middle AS Mid_Init,
b.city AS City, b.county AS County, b.state AS State
from ECBH.dbo.tbl_Client a inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_Client_Location b
on a.client_id = b.client_id
inner join ECBH.dbo.tbl_client_insurance c
on a.client_id = c.client_id
inner join ECBH_TEST.dbo.tbl_GEF_County d
on b.county = d.COUNTY_NAME
where c.plan_id = 4
order by a.cli_last, a.cli_first
Because multiple records exist in the Client_Location table, the result set has duplicates. How can I pull only the results where the from_dt is most recent?
I have a table with more than 1000 records. The columns look like this
Import id | Reference | Date | Username | Filename
Some of the rows are duplicates except for the fact that they have different values for the first column alone (import id)
11111 test 21-07-2015 xxxxxx yyyyyy
22222 test 21-07-2015 xxxxxx yyyyyy
Is it possible to delete these kind of duplicate rows by ignoring the import id ?
Is there is 'fairly' simple query to delete duplicate rows from ANY table ?
A script which removes duplicates from a table, when a table_name is supplied.
I have a temp table with the following columns and data
drop table #temp
create table #temp (id int,DLR_ID int,KPI_ID int,Brnd_ID int)
insert into #temp values (1,2343,34,2)
insert into #temp values (2,2343,34,2)
insert into #temp values (3,2343,34,2)
[Code]....
I use the rank function on that table and get the following results
select rank() over (order by DLR_ID,KPI_ID,BRND_ID ) Rown,* from #temp
I am interested only in Rown and Id columns. For each Rown number, I need to get the min(ID) in the second column and the duplicate ID should be in 3rd column as shown below.If i have 3 duplicate IDs , I should have 3 rows with 2nd column being the min(id) and 3rd column having one of the duplicate ids in ascending order(as shown in Rown=6)
I have a master table and i need to import the rows into the parent and child table.
Master table name is Flatfile_Inventory
Parent Table name is INVENTORY
Child Tables name are INVENTORY_AMOUNT,INVENTORY_DETAILS,INVENTORY_VEHICLE,
Error details will be goes to LOG_INVENTORY_ERROR
I have 4 duplicate rows in the Flatfile_Inventory which i have already inserted in the Parent and child table.
Again when i run the query using stored procedure,its tells that all the 4 rows are duplicate and will move to the Log_Inventory_Error.
I need is if i have the duplicate rows in the flatfile_Inventory when i start inserting into the parent and child table the already inserted row have the unique ID i must identify it and delete that row in the both parent and chlid table.And latest row must get inserted into the Parent and child table from Flatfile_Inventory.

I am a newb at ms sql and was hoping someone could help me
eliminate duplicate PRODUCT.PRODUCT from this statement. I have tried using DISTINCT with the same results.The ProductImage table is causing this because
the duplicates are from the PRODUCT.PRODUCT that have more than 1 image.
If anyone could rewrite this statement so I can learn from this, it would
be most appreciated!
Thank you for your time

I have a query that for one reason or another produces duplicate information in the result set. I have tried using DISTINCT and GROUP BY to remove the duplicates but because of the nature of the data I cannot get this to work, here is an example fo the data I am working with
ID Name Add1 Add2
1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow
1 Matt 16 Nowhere St Glasgow, Scotland
2 Jim 23 Blue St G65 TX
3 Bill 45 Red St
3 Bill 45 red St London
The problem is that a user can have one or more addresses!! I would like to be able to remove the duplicates by keeping the first duplicate ID that appears and getting rid of the second one. Any ideas?
Cheers

I have a table containing over 100,000 email addresses. This email table gets duplicates in it, and our customers don't want a second (or third or fourth) copy of our news letter. To prevent this, we run the following SQL to kill the duplicates:
Code Snippet
DELETE FROM _email WHERE _email.eid IN
(
SELECT tbl1.eid FROM _email AS tbl1 WHERE Exists
(
SELECT emailaddress, Count(eid) FROM _email WHERE _email.emailaddress = tbl1.emailaddress GROUP BY _email.emailaddress HAVING Count(_email.eid) > 1
)
)
AND _email.eid NOT IN
(
SELECT Min(eid) FROM _email AS tbl1 WHERE Exists
(
SELECT emailaddress, Count(eid) FROM _email WHERE _email.emailaddress = tbl1.emailaddress GROUP BY _email.emailaddress HAVING Count(_email.eid) > 1
)
GROUP BY emailaddress
);
This query takes about 2hrs to run which is really hurting our server preformance. Is there any way to do this faster?
I am running SQL Server 2000
Thanks in advance

I managed to transpose rows into columns.
;WITH
ctePreAgg AS
(
select top 500 act_reference "ActivityRef",
row_number() over (partition by act_reference order by act_reference) as rowno,
t3.s_initials "Initials"
from mytablestuff
order by act_reference
[code]...
But what I would love to do next is take each of the above rows - and return the initials either in one column with all the nulls and duplicate values removed, separated by a comma ..
ref, initials
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW
At-2x SAS,CW
At-3x SAS,CW
OR the above but using variable number of columns based on the maximum number of different initials for each row.this is not strictly required, but maybe neater for further work on the view
ref, init1,init2
Ag-4xYS
Ag-6xYS,BL
Ap-1xKW

I found some duplicate data as I was going thru the logic of a data pump. The entire row is not duplicated however.I would like to delete only the one row.
This is a sample of the data:
DECLARE @SomeData TABLE
(
FirstName varchar(25)
, MiddleName varchar(25)
, LastName varchar(25)
, StreetAddress varchar(25)
, Suite varchar(25)
, City varchar(25)
, [State] varchar(25)
, PostalCode varchar(10)

As you can see, Joe Smith has two rows, but only one of the rows is complete. I would like to delete only the row that has a NULL value in the phone and area code for Joe Smith. There are a few thousand rows that are like this. They have duplicates all but the area code and phone number.I am used to using a CTE to remove duplicates, but I am a little lost on this one. The things that I have tried, have not worked exactly as I planned.
Whenever I try to join multiple Tables it will appear in duplicate.
Example:
ID SURNAME NAME SEX DOB
1YAHAYISAMALE05.02.19911NIGERIAKADUNA12 RIMI ROAD

I have a database being populated by hits to a program on a server.The problem is each client connection may require a few hits in a 1-2second time frame. This is resulting in multiple database entries -all exactly the same, except the event_id field, which isauto-numbered.I need a way to query the record w/out duplicates. That is, anyrecords exactly the same except event_id should only return one record.Is this possible??Thank you,Barry
