WITH A
AS
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY
columnname_1,columnname_2 ORDER BY columnname_1) AS
duplicate FROM table_name
)
SELECT * FROM A WHERE duplicate>1
--DELETE FROM A WHERE duplicate>1
First select and you can find the row_number having more
than 1 rows.
Then delete them on comment of select stmt inside the
query..
decomment of that delete stmt will delete the duplicate
rows.
