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)

delete t1
from table t1, table t2
where t1.columnA = t2.columnA
and t1.rowid>t2.rowid

邮政：

delete
from table t1
using table t2
where t1.columnA = t2.columnA
and t1.rowid > t2.rowid

我更喜欢子查询\having count(*) > 1解决方案内部连接，因为我发现它更容易阅读，它很容易变成一个SELECT语句来验证什么将被删除，然后再运行它。

--DELETE FROM table1 
--WHERE id IN ( 
     SELECT MIN(id) FROM table1 
     GROUP BY col1, col2, col3 
     -- could add a WHERE clause here to further filter
     HAVING count(*) > 1
--)

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

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)

我想提一下这种方法，它可能是有帮助的，并且适用于所有SQL服务器: 通常只有一到两个副本，副本的id和数量是已知的。在这种情况下:

SET ROWCOUNT 1 -- or set to number of rows to be deleted
delete from myTable where RowId = DuplicatedID
SET ROWCOUNT 0
