另一种在不丢失信息的情况下删除重复行的方法如下:

delete from dublicated_table t1 (nolock)
join (
    select t2.dublicated_field
    , min(len(t2.field_kept)) as min_field_kept
    from dublicated_table t2 (nolock)
    group by t2.dublicated_field having COUNT(*)>1
) t3 
on t1.dublicated_field=t3.dublicated_field 
    and len(t1.field_kept)=t3.min_field_kept

如果你有能力临时添加一个列到表中，这是一个适合我的解决方案:

ALTER TABLE dbo.DUPPEDTABLE ADD RowID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1)

然后使用MIN和GROUP BY的组合执行DELETE

DELETE b
FROM dbo.DUPPEDTABLE b
WHERE b.RowID NOT IN (
                     SELECT MIN(RowID) AS RowID
                     FROM dbo.DUPPEDTABLE a WITH (NOLOCK)
                     GROUP BY a.ITEM_NUMBER,
                              a.CHARACTERISTIC,
                              a.INTVALUE,
                              a.FLOATVALUE,
                              a.STRINGVALUE
                 );

验证DELETE执行正确:

SELECT a.ITEM_NUMBER,
    a.CHARACTERISTIC,
    a.INTVALUE,
    a.FLOATVALUE,
    a.STRINGVALUE, COUNT(*)--MIN(RowID) AS RowID
FROM dbo.DUPPEDTABLE a WITH (NOLOCK)
GROUP BY a.ITEM_NUMBER,
    a.CHARACTERISTIC,
    a.INTVALUE,
    a.FLOATVALUE,
    a.STRINGVALUE
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC 

结果中不应有计数大于1的行。最后，删除rowid列:

ALTER TABLE dbo.DUPPEDTABLE DROP COLUMN RowID;

删除所有重复项，但删除第一个重复项(具有最小ID)

应该同样适用于其他SQL服务器，如Postgres:

DELETE FROM table
WHERE id NOT IN (
   select min(id) from table
   group by col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7
)

不使用CTE和ROW_NUMBER()，您可以通过使用group by和MAX函数删除记录，这里是一个例子

DELETE
FROM MyDuplicateTable
WHERE ID NOT IN
(
SELECT MAX(ID)
FROM MyDuplicateTable
GROUP BY DuplicateColumn1, DuplicateColumn2, DuplicateColumn3)

DELETE p1 FROM Person p1,
    Person p2
WHERE
    p1.Email = p2.Email AND p1.Id > p2.Id

要在SQL Server中删除表中的重复行，请执行以下步骤:

使用GROUP BY子句或ROW_NUMBER()函数查找重复的行。 使用DELETE语句删除重复的行。

设置一个示例表

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS contacts;

CREATE TABLE contacts(
    contact_id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    first_name NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    last_name NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    email NVARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
);

插入的值

INSERT INTO contacts
    (first_name,last_name,email) 
VALUES
    ('Syed','Abbas','syed.abbas@example.com'),
    ('Catherine','Abel','catherine.abel@example.com'),
    ('Kim','Abercrombie','kim.abercrombie@example.com'),
    ('Kim','Abercrombie','kim.abercrombie@example.com'),
    ('Kim','Abercrombie','kim.abercrombie@example.com'),
    ('Hazem','Abolrous','hazem.abolrous@example.com'),
    ('Hazem','Abolrous','hazem.abolrous@example.com'),
    ('Humberto','Acevedo','humberto.acevedo@example.com'),
    ('Humberto','Acevedo','humberto.acevedo@example.com'),
    ('Pilar','Ackerman','pilar.ackerman@example.com');

查询

    SELECT 
   contact_id, 
   first_name, 
   last_name, 
   email
FROM 
   contacts;

从表中删除重复的行

   WITH cte AS (
    SELECT 
        contact_id, 
        first_name, 
        last_name, 
        email, 
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
            PARTITION BY 
                first_name, 
                last_name, 
                email
            ORDER BY 
                first_name, 
                last_name, 
                email
        ) row_num
     FROM 
        contacts
)
DELETE FROM cte
WHERE row_num > 1;

现在要删除记录吗
