Answer / naresh.s
in DB2
first we need to know duplicate records in database file
like tmpfilep ,for that
select RRN(A) from tmpfilep A where field='fieldvalue'
here field means any fileld containd tmpfilep and
corresponding value.
once we execute the above query we will get relative record
numbers of each row and remember that numbers
now you can delete records based on these numbers
delete from tmpfilep A where rrn(A) in (234,341,642)
here 234,341,642 are sample record numbers
may be i am correct upto my knowledge.......
