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;

alter table MyTable add sno int identity(1,1)
    delete from MyTable where sno in
    (
    select sno from (
    select *,
    RANK() OVER ( PARTITION BY RowID,Col3 ORDER BY sno DESC )rank
    From MyTable
    )T
    where rank>1
    )

    alter table MyTable 
    drop  column sno

有时使用软删除机制，其中记录日期以指示删除的日期。在这种情况下，可以使用UPDATE语句根据重复的条目更新该字段。

UPDATE MY_TABLE
   SET DELETED = getDate()
 WHERE TABLE_ID IN (
    SELECT x.TABLE_ID
      FROM MY_TABLE x
      JOIN (SELECT min(TABLE_ID) id, COL_1, COL_2, COL_3
              FROM MY_TABLE d
             GROUP BY d.COL_1, d.COL_2, d.COL_3
            HAVING count(*) > 1) AS d ON d.COL_1 = x.COL_1
                                     AND d.COL_2 = x.COL_2
                                     AND d.COL_3 = x.COL_3
                                     AND d.TABLE_ID <> x.TABLE_ID
             /*WHERE x.COL_4 <> 'D' -- Additional filter*/)

对于包含大约3000万行、重复量有高有低的中等数据表，这种方法非常适用。

在微软支持网站上有一篇关于删除重复文件的好文章。这是相当保守的——他们让你在不同的步骤中做所有的事情——但它应该适用于大的表格。

在过去，我使用了自连接来实现这一点，尽管它可能会用一个HAVING子句来美化:

DELETE dupes
FROM MyTable dupes, MyTable fullTable
WHERE dupes.dupField = fullTable.dupField 
AND dupes.secondDupField = fullTable.secondDupField 
AND dupes.uniqueField > fullTable.uniqueField

快速和脏删除精确重复的行(小表):

select  distinct * into t2 from t1;
delete from t1;
insert into t1 select *  from t2;
drop table t2;

我想我应该分享我的解决方案，因为它在特殊情况下是有效的。 在我的例子中，有重复值的表没有外键(因为这些值是从另一个db复制的)。

begin transaction
-- create temp table with identical structure as source table
Select * Into #temp From tableName Where 1 = 2

-- insert distinct values into temp
insert into #temp 
select distinct * 
from  tableName

-- delete from source
delete from tableName 

-- insert into source from temp
insert into tableName 
select * 
from #temp

rollback transaction
-- if this works, change rollback to commit and execute again to keep you changes!!

PS:在处理这样的事情时，我总是使用事务，这不仅确保了所有事情都作为一个整体执行，而且还允许我在没有任何风险的情况下进行测试。但是当然你应该做个备份，以防万一……
