Answer / pooja narang

We will get the duplicate records and insert them into a
new temp table by using below query:

select * into tmp_Employee
from Employee
having count(distinct *) > 1

Now delete the duplicate records from Employee table:

delete from Employee
having count(distinct *) > 1

Now insert the records from tmp_Employee to Employee table:

insert into Employee
select * from tmp_employee

drop table tmp_employee

Is This Answer Correct ?    4 Yes 15 No
