I want to delete duplicate records. If lastname and emailaddress are the same, only keep a record which createdate is the most newest date. See above example I only want to the record which userid is 3. I have alreday created a code which I attached below. This code onle keep a record which userid is 1. Anybody can help me to solve this problem? Thanks. ============== My current code ==================== delete from userprofile where userprofile.userid in --list all rows that have duplicates (select p.userid from userprofile as p where exists (select lastname, emailaddress from userprofile where lastname = p.lastname and emailaddress = p.emailaddress group by lastname, emailaddress having count (userid)>1)) and userprofile.userid not in --list on row from each set of duplicate (select min(p.userid) from userprofile as p where exists (select lastname, emailaddress from userprofile where lastname = p.lastname and emailaddress = p.emailaddress group by lastname, emailaddress having count (userid)>1) group by lastname, emailaddress)

Delete Duplicate Records
Hello everyone, I have a little dilemma. I have a table ALLTABLE that has duplicate records and I want to delete them. ALLTABLE has these columns with these values for example: Policy Premium Class State Entity Number ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 1 ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 2 ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 3 ADC-WC-0010005-0 1457 63 29 4 ADC-WC-0010092-1 2322 63 37 1 ADC-WC-0010344-0 515 63 01 1 ADC-WC-0010344-0 515 63 01 2 As you can see there is some duplicates in the first 3 rows and the final 2 (the entity number is the only difference). I want the table to look like this: Policy Premium Class State Entity Number ADC-WC-0010005-0 25476 63 31 1 ADC-WC-0010005-0 1457 63 29 4 ADC-WC-0010092-1 2322 63 37 1 ADC-WC-0010344-0 515 63 01 1 Thank you so much for the help.

Unable To Delete Duplicate Records
I was importing records via DTSWizard, and I was having problems so I turned off Enforce Replicaton, Enforce FK Constraints on a couple of fields. I'm new with SQL Server so I'm not sure if this even caused the problem. (Do I need to turn these back on, or is this a Developer switch of some kind?) The end result left me with duplicate records in the table, and I'm not able to delete any of them. This is the Error I got... A problem occurred attempting to delete row 1. Error Source: Microsoft.VisualStudio,Datatools. Error Message: The row value(s) updated or deleted either do not make the row unique or they after multiple rows(2 rows). If someone could tell me what I need to do so I can delete the records I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Bill

Have Duplicate Records, Can't Delete &"extras&"!
I have inherited a database with no primary keys in it. :( There are, of course, duplicate records by the "logical key", i.e., the list of columns that should have been used in a primary key, if they only had one. I can easily identify when I have duplicate records using group by and having clauses. That's the easy part.I can identify duplicate records by "key columns" and the subset of those records that are "identical duplicates on all columns". I need to delete the "extra copies" I can't do it by hand using sql server manager, it won't let me, because it recognizes that more than one row matches that row. In Oracle, I would use the pseudo-column "rowid", which would expose the internal identifier for the row.SqlServer doesn't appear to have this concept. is there another way other than creating an empty shadow table, copying all the distinct duplicate records into the shadow table, deleting all the duplicates in the old table, then copying the distinct duplicates back into the old table.

How Can I Delete All But One Instance Of A Duplicate Row?
I have several rows in a table that contain duplicate information. I want to trim them down to one instance per row, without other duplicates. I have several columns, but only 2 of the columns are used to determine the "Identical Rows", however one of the other columns could also be used to determine which of the others are deleted. Let's just say I have a table called DATA. In DATA I have the following columns: C1: ID/Key column (Unique numbers not associated with any other row) C2: Specific Data column 1 C3: Specific Data Column 2 C3: Keeper if not null C4: Misc Info C5: Misc Info Basically IF C2 & C3 are duplicated, then I want to keep one of these and ditch the others. The row I want to keep is the one that has info in C4, but at times C4 does not have anything in it on any of them, at that point I just care about keeping one of the C2 & C3 Duplicate rows. The other issue I face is C2 will always have something in it, but at times C3 will not and C4 will. So I want to keep the one duplicate row that has the most info in it. At minimum, I want to always keep C2 & C3 if they both contain data. For example, if I had the following duplicate rows: (C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ (C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ (C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ (C2) red (C3) (C4) XYZ (C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) I want to keep: (C2) red (C3) 123 (C4) XYZ I have some rows that have three exact duplicates, some that have four, some that have two. How can I tell the Query Manager to delete all but one instance of each duplicate row? I did do a query to find out how many duplicates I have and found it to be around 232,000+. Basically I will be cutting this in half if I can get rid of the duplicates. I have read 30 different ways on many sites and I am now officially confused Thank you for your help.

Duplicate Records
Yes, I know this subject has been exhausted, but I need help in locating the discussion which took place a few months ago. Sharon relayed to the group a piece of software (expensive) which would help in my particular situation. I grabbed a demo and have gotten the approval for purchase. Unfortunately, I don't have the thread with me at work. The problem: Number Fname Lname Age ID 123 John Franklin 43 1 123 Jane Franklin 40 2 123 Jeff Franklin 12 3 124 Jean Simmons 39 4 125 Gary Bender 37 5 126 Fred Johnson 29 6 126 Fred Johnson 39 7 127 Gene Simmons 47 8 The idea would be to get only unique records from the Number column. I don't care about which information I grab from the other columns, but I must have those fields included. If my resultant result set looked as follows, that would be fine. Or any other way, as long as all of the fields had information and there were only unique values in the Number field. Number Fname Lname Age ID 123 Jeff Franklin 12 3 124 Jean Simmons 39 4 125 Gary Bender 37 5 126 Fred Johnson 39 7 127 Gene Simmons 47 8 If anyone remembers this discussion, mainly the date, I would really appreciate it.

Duplicate Records
Hi, Not so sure how simple this question is but here is what happened. I installed SQL Server 2005 on a new Win Server 2003. I exported the tables and their data from the old machine to the newly established database on the new machine. It looks like all my records were duplicated. When I try to delete one of the duplicates it won't work because both rows are effected. I can't set my primary key now and if I try to create a new database with the primary key already set than the import fails. Any one run into this before or know what's going on?

Records Duplicate When Edited...?
Hi,I have written a web application using dreamweaver MX, asp.net, and MSsql server 2005.The problem I am having occurs when I attempt to edit a record. I have setup a datagrid with freeform fields so that the user can click on edit, make the required changes within the data grid then click update. The data is then saved to the database. All this was created using dreameaver and most of the code was automatically generated for me.The problem is that, not everytime, but sometimes when I go to edit a record once I hit the update button to save the changes the record is duplicated 1 or more times. This doesnt happen everytime but when it does it duplicates the record between 1 and about 5 times. I have double checked everything but cannot find anything obvious that may be causing this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should look for? Is this a coding error or something wrong with MSsql? Any ideas?Thanks in advance-Mitch
