Create unique index on this Table with ignore duplicate row
2nd way.
1st transfer the data to a temp table bu using Distinct
clause then truncate the EMP table and then transfor the
data from temp table to EMP Table.
select distinct (column names) in to #temp from EMP
Truncate table EMP
INSERT INTO EMP
SELECT * FROM #temp

Answer / shankar
First Of All Create Table
create table EMP(empid int, ename varchar(10),sal int,
deptid int)
insert into EMP values(11, 'Ram', 10000, 10)
insert into EMP values(11, 'Ram',10000,10)
insert into EMP values(22, 'Raj', 20000, 20)
insert into EMP values(22, 'Raj', 20000, 20)
insert into EMP values(33, 'Anil', 15000, 30)
insert into EMP values(33, 'Anil', 15000, 30)
insert into EMP values(44,'bbb',11111,40)
--Now Run This query It works
Declare @empID int, @RecCount int,@Name varchar (10),@Sal
int, @deptid int
SET @RecCount = 0
Declare MyCur Cursor for
Select empid,ename Sal,DeptID,Count(ID)-1 as Records from
EMP Group BY empid,ename Sal,DeptID having Count(empid)>1
Open MyCur
Fetch FROM MyCur INTO @empID,@Name,@sal,@DeptID,@RecCount
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET ROWCOUNT @RecCount
DELETE from EMP where empID= @empID
SET @empID= 0
SET @Name = ''
SET @Sal= 0
SET @DeptID = 0
SET @RecCount = 0
SET ROWCOUNT 0
Fetch FROM MyCur INTO @empID,@Name,@sal,@DeptID,@RecCount
END
Close MyCur
DEallocate MyCur

I have tried this query in my PC.Very simply I was able to
remove all duplicate rows.
Please try below query it will work out.
SELECT DISTINCT*FROM EMP(TableName);
You will get below table
EmpId Ename Sal DeptId
11 Ram 10000 10
22 Raj 20000 20
33 Anil 15000 30
Suppose if you have different ENAME but you want only
selected ENAME without duplicate records.
Where We can use below query.
SELECT DISTINCT*FROM EMP WHERE ENAME IN('RAM','RAJ','ANIL');
Please correct me if I am wrong.
