Ways to delete duplicate data in SQL Server

DatabaseThe use of the process due to procedural problems sometimes encounter duplicate data, duplication of data caused the database part of the settings can not be set correctly ...
Method One
declare @max integer,@id integer
declare cur_rows cursor local for select 主字段,count(*) from 表名 group by 主字段 having count(*) > 1
open cur_rows
fetch cur_rows into @id,@max
while @@fetch_status=0
begin
select @max = @max -1
set rowcount @max
delete from 表名 where 主字段 = @id
fetch cur_rows into @id,@max
end
close cur_rows
set rowcount 0
Method Two
There are two duplicates of the record, one is a completely duplicate record, that is, all the fields are duplicate records, the second is some key fields duplicate records, such as the Name field repeat, and other fields do not necessarily repeat or repeat can be ignored.
1, for the first repetition, easier to solve, the use of
select distinct * from tableName
You can get a result set without duplicate records.
If the table needs to delete duplicate records (1 of duplicate records are retained), you can delete them in the following ways
select distinct * into #Tmp from tableName
drop table tableName
select * into tableName from #Tmp
drop table #Tmp
This duplication occurs because the table is poorly designed and can be resolved by adding a unique index column.
2. This type of repetition usually requires the first record in the duplicate record to be retained, as follows
Suppose there is a duplicate field of name,address that requires a unique result set for both fields
select identity(int,1,1) as autoID, * into #Tmp from tableName
select min(autoID) as autoID into #Tmp2 from #Tmp group by Name,autoID
select * from #Tmp where autoID in(select autoID from #tmp2)
The last select gets the name,address result set (but one more autoid field, which can be written in the SELECT clause to omit this column)
