如果重复行的所有列都是相同的，那么下面的查询可以用来删除重复的记录。

SELECT DISTINCT * INTO #TemNewTable FROM #OriginalTable
TRUNCATE TABLE #OriginalTable
INSERT INTO #OriginalTable SELECT * FROM #TemNewTable
DROP TABLE #TemNewTable

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。

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

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)

CREATE TABLE car(Id int identity(1,1), PersonId int, CarId int)

INSERT INTO car(PersonId,CarId)
VALUES(1,2),(1,3),(1,2),(2,4)

--SELECT * FROM car

;WITH CTE as(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() over (PARTITION BY personid,carid order by personid,carid) as rn,Id,PersonID,CarId from car)

DELETE FROM car where Id in(SELECT Id FROM CTE WHERE rn>1)
