Deleting multiple duplicate rows in a table
Ex . I have the Table named as TestMaster
to delete duplicate rows from the testmaster using Cursor &
RANK() Function.
for ex.the table having the fields ID,Name
the having the following data
oupput:
ID NAME
1 Raja
1 Raja
1 Raja
2 Mohamed
2 Mohamed
2 Mohamed

To Delete duplicate Rows in table to follow the below code:

DECLARE @ID INT
DECLARE delduplicaterecords_Cursor CURSOR
FOR SELECT ID FROM TempMaster
OPEN delduplicaterecords_Cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM delduplicaterecords_Cursor INTO @ID

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
WITH CTE
AS
(SELECT
ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS RowID,
*
FROM TempMaster WHERE ID=@ID )

DELETE FROM CTE WHERE RowID <> 1

FETCH NEXT FROM delduplicaterecords_Cursor INTO @ID
END

CLOSE delduplicaterecords_Cursor
