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
