Removing Duplicate Data via cursor
543394Feb 6 2008 — edited Feb 7 2008Hello friends just wondering if anyone might be able to lead me down the right path to get this script written. I have a table with millions of duplicate rows, but with luck I have a column that has UUIDs that are used for another database to look at. So I have a column to which I can base my query off of. Basically I want to run a cursor to grab one instance of the duplicate rows and delete the rest. I was thinking that I could use the max rowid and put that in a varaiable and use that to grab one UUID to not delete. Anyway just wanted to bounce this off a few people who are much better at this kind of thing than myself.
Thanks in advance for any help insight you might be able to provide.
