write a query to delete similar records in same table..

Answer / sivadasan

I think simply we can do like the following..

1. First we have to transfer all data from a table to
temporary table

create table Temp_table as select * from original_table;

2. Delete all record from Original Table....

delete original_table;

3. Now we can write a query by using INSERT and UNION

If any issue let me know....

insert into original_table (select * from temp_table
UNION select * from UNION )
