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

我想这会很有帮助。这里，ROW_NUMBER() OVER(分区由res1。Title ORDER BY res1.Id)作为num来区分重复的行。

delete FROM
(SELECT res1.*,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY res1.Title ORDER BY res1.Id)as num
 FROM 
(select * from [dbo].[tbl_countries])as res1
)as res2
WHERE res2.num > 1

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

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

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
 )
