Hi All,
I have a table and it's having duplicate records.
for one particular employee, he is having multiple records with the same data in the table
EMPNO ENAME JOB SAL DOB
-------------------------------------------------------
1 A X 100 1956
2 B Y 200 1974
1 A X 100 1956
3 C Z 300 1920
1 A X 100 1956
2 B Y 200 1974
3 C Z 300 1920
3 C Z 300 1920
3 C Z 300 1920
2 B Y 200 1974
2 B Y 200 1974
2 B Y 200 1974
1 A X 100 1956
like this am having multiple times the duplicates.
I have written the below query to delete the duplicate records. But it is deleting only one record (if we have 5 duplicates it is deleting only 1 ). But I am looking to delete if we have 5 duplicates need to delete 4 duplicates and keep 1 record in the table. Can you please help me out for this.
query which am using to delete the duplicates is
DELETE FROM Table1 a
WHERE ROWID IN (SELECT MAX(ROWID)
FROM Table2 b
WHERE a.ID = b.ID);
it is deleting only one row but I want to delete 4 records out of 5 and keep one record.
Thanks.
