DELETE 
FROM MyTable
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
              SELECT min(RowID)
              FROM Mytable
              WHERE (SELECT RowID 
                     FROM Mytable
                     GROUP BY Col1, Col2, Col3
                     ))
               );

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。

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
 )

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)

另一种基于两列删除重复项的方法

我发现这个查询更容易阅读和替换。

DELETE 
FROM 
 TABLE_NAME 
 WHERE FIRST_COLUMNS 
 IN( 
       SELECT * FROM 
           ( SELECT MIN(FIRST_COLUMNS) 
             FROM TABLE_NAME 
             GROUP BY 
                      FIRST_COLUMNS,
                      SECOND_COLUMNS 
             HAVING COUNT(FIRST_COLUMNS) > 1 
            ) temp 
   )

注意:在运行查询之前最好模拟查询。
