我更喜欢子查询\having count(*) > 1解决方案内部连接，因为我发现它更容易阅读，它很容易变成一个SELECT语句来验证什么将被删除，然后再运行它。

--DELETE FROM table1 
--WHERE id IN ( 
     SELECT MIN(id) FROM table1 
     GROUP BY col1, col2, col3 
     -- could add a WHERE clause here to further filter
     HAVING count(*) > 1
--)

这个查询为我展示了非常好的性能:

DELETE tbl
FROM
    MyTable tbl
WHERE
    EXISTS (
        SELECT
            *
        FROM
            MyTable tbl2
        WHERE
            tbl2.SameValue = tbl.SameValue
        AND tbl.IdUniqueValue < tbl2.IdUniqueValue
    )

它在30秒多一点的时间内从2M的表中删除了1M行(50%重复)

哦,当然。使用临时表。如果你想要一个“工作”的单一的、性能不太好的语句，你可以使用:

DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE NOT RowID IN
    (SELECT 
        (SELECT TOP 1 RowID FROM MyTable mt2 
        WHERE mt2.Col1 = mt.Col1 
        AND mt2.Col2 = mt.Col2 
        AND mt2.Col3 = mt.Col3) 
    FROM MyTable mt)

基本上，对于表中的每一行，子选择将查找与所考虑行的完全相同的所有行的顶部RowID。因此，您最终会得到一个表示“原始”非重复行的RowIDs列表。

使用CTE。这个想法是连接一个或多个列，形成一个重复的记录，然后删除你喜欢的:

;with cte as (
    select 
        min(PrimaryKey) as PrimaryKey
        UniqueColumn1,
        UniqueColumn2
    from dbo.DuplicatesTable 
    group by
        UniqueColumn1, UniqueColumn1
    having count(*) > 1
)
delete d
from dbo.DuplicatesTable d 
inner join cte on 
    d.PrimaryKey > cte.PrimaryKey and
    d.UniqueColumn1 = cte.UniqueColumn1 and 
    d.UniqueColumn2 = cte.UniqueColumn2;

下面的查询用于删除重复的行。本例中的表以ID作为标识列，具有重复数据的列是Column1、Column2和Column3。

DELETE FROM TableName
WHERE  ID NOT IN (SELECT MAX(ID)
                  FROM   TableName
                  GROUP  BY Column1,
                            Column2,
                            Column3
                  /*Even if ID is not null-able SQL Server treats MAX(ID) as potentially
                    nullable. Because of semantics of NOT IN (NULL) including the clause
                    below can simplify the plan*/
                  HAVING MAX(ID) IS NOT NULL) 

下面的脚本显示GROUP BY、HAVING、ORDER BY在一个查询中的用法，并返回带有重复列及其计数的结果。

SELECT YourColumnName,
       COUNT(*) TotalCount
FROM   YourTableName
GROUP  BY YourColumnName
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
ORDER  BY COUNT(*) DESC 

这是删除重复记录最简单的方法

 DELETE FROM tblemp WHERE id IN 
 (
  SELECT MIN(id) FROM tblemp
   GROUP BY  title HAVING COUNT(id)>1
 )
