另一种可能的方法是

; 

--Ensure that any immediately preceding statement is terminated with a semicolon above
WITH cte
     AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Col1, Col2, Col3 
                                       ORDER BY ( SELECT 0)) RN
         FROM   #MyTable)
DELETE FROM cte
WHERE  RN > 1;

我在上面使用ORDER BY (SELECT 0)，因为在出现平局的情况下，保留哪一行是任意的。

例如，要以RowID顺序保存最新的一个，您可以使用order BY RowID DESC

执行计划

它的执行计划通常比接受的答案更简单和更有效，因为它不需要自连接。

然而，情况并非总是如此。GROUP BY解决方案可能会优先于选择散列聚合而不是流聚合的情况。

ROW_NUMBER解决方案总是给出几乎相同的计划，而GROUP BY策略则更加灵活。

可能有利于哈希聚合方法的因素是

分区列上没有有用的索引 相对较少的组，每组的重复数相对较多

在第二种情况的极端版本中(如果每个组中有很多重复的组)，还可以考虑简单地插入要保留到新表中的行，然后截断原始的行并将它们复制回来，以最大限度地减少日志记录，而不是删除非常高比例的行。

SELECT  DISTINCT *
      INTO tempdb.dbo.tmpTable
FROM myTable

TRUNCATE TABLE myTable
INSERT INTO myTable SELECT * FROM tempdb.dbo.tmpTable
DROP TABLE tempdb.dbo.tmpTable

通过使用下面的查询，我们可以基于单列或多列删除重复的记录。下面的查询是基于两列进行删除。表名为:testing，列名为empno,empname

DELETE FROM testing WHERE empno not IN (SELECT empno FROM (SELECT empno, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY empno ORDER BY empno) 
AS [ItemNumber] FROM testing) a WHERE ItemNumber > 1)
or empname not in
(select empname from (select empname,row_number() over(PARTITION BY empno ORDER BY empno) 
AS [ItemNumber] FROM testing) a WHERE ItemNumber > 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)

我更喜欢CTE从sql server表中删除重复的行
