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)

在postgresql中删除重复行的一个非常简单的方法。

DELETE FROM table1 a
USING table1 b
WHERE a.id < b.id
AND a.column1 = b.column1
AND a.column2 = b.column2;

我知道这个问题已经回答了，但我已经创建了非常有用的sp，它将为表副本创建一个动态删除语句:

    CREATE PROCEDURE sp_DeleteDuplicate @tableName varchar(100), @DebugMode int =1
AS 
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;

IF(OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#tableMatrix') is not null) DROP TABLE #tableMatrix;

SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY name) as rn,name into #tableMatrix FROM sys.columns where [object_id] = object_id(@tableName) ORDER BY name

DECLARE @MaxRow int = (SELECT MAX(rn) from #tableMatrix)
IF(@MaxRow is null)
    RAISERROR  ('I wasn''t able to find any columns for this table!',16,1)
ELSE 
    BEGIN
DECLARE @i int =1 
DECLARE @Columns Varchar(max) ='';

WHILE (@i <= @MaxRow)
BEGIN 
    SET @Columns=@Columns+(SELECT '['+name+'],' from #tableMatrix where rn = @i)

    SET @i = @i+1;
END

---DELETE LAST comma
SET @Columns = LEFT(@Columns,LEN(@Columns)-1)

DECLARE @Sql nvarchar(max) = '
WITH cteRowsToDelte
     AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY '+@Columns+' ORDER BY ( SELECT 0)) as rowNumber,* FROM '+@tableName
+')

DELETE FROM cteRowsToDelte
WHERE  rowNumber > 1;
'
SET NOCOUNT OFF;
    IF(@DebugMode = 1)
       SELECT @Sql
    ELSE
       EXEC sp_executesql @Sql
    END
END

如果你创建这样的表格

IF(OBJECT_ID('MyLitleTable') is not null)
    DROP TABLE MyLitleTable 


CREATE TABLE MyLitleTable
(
    A Varchar(10),
    B money,
    C int
)
---------------------------------------------------------

    INSERT INTO MyLitleTable VALUES
    ('ABC',100,1),
    ('ABC',100,1), -- only this row should be deleted
    ('ABC',101,1),
    ('ABC',100,2),
    ('ABCD',100,1)

    -----------------------------------------------------------

     exec sp_DeleteDuplicate 'MyLitleTable',0

它将从表中删除所有重复项。如果运行它时不带第二个参数，它将返回一条SQL语句来运行。

如果您需要排除任何列，只需在调试模式下运行它，获取代码并按照您的喜好修改它。

DELETE LU 
FROM   (SELECT *, 
               Row_number() 
                 OVER ( 
                   partition BY col1, col1, col3 
                   ORDER BY rowid DESC) [Row] 
        FROM   mytable) LU 
WHERE  [row] > 1 

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。

另一种表达方式:——

DELETE A
FROM   TABLE A,
       TABLE B
WHERE  A.COL1 = B.COL1
       AND A.COL2 = B.COL2
       AND A.UNIQUEFIELD > B.UNIQUEFIELD
