Need to delete a row from the source table

  • I have a source table and another table with duplicate rows in it. I want to delete a row from the source table.

    I have written this query but deleting every thing from the source table.

    DELETE from DRG_DATA (source table)

    FROM #All_duplicatedRecord (has two duplicate rows for the same record) AS drg

    LEFT JOIN #All_duplicatedRecord AS dup

    ON drg.enc_num = dup.enc_num

    and dup.QUERY_DT_TM = (SELECT MAX(QUERY_DT_TM) FROM #All_duplicatedRecord)

    I tried the following query too, then wanted to delete the rows where Dup_Rec =1 , but all the records under Dup_Rec showing 1

    update DRG_DATA

    SET Dup_Rec = 1

    from #All_duplicatedRecord A

    inner join

    (select ENC_NUM as enc_num1, PHYSICIAN_LAME as PHYSICIAN_LAME1, RESP_CODE as RESP_CODE1,QUERY_COMM as QUERY_COMM1

    from dbo.[Winston CYQ11 Q2 092811]

    group by ENC_NUM, PHYSICIAN_LAME, RESP_CODE,QUERY_COMM

    having COUNT(*) >1)B

    on

    A.ENC_NUM = B.ENC_NUM1

    and A.PHYSICIAN_LAME =B.PHYSICIAN_LAME1

    and A.QUERY_COMM = B.QUERY_COMM1

    any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks,

  • In your first query, you aren't joining to the table you are deleting from.

    What you should do is write a SELECT query first to find out what will be found. This is what you have.:

    select *

    from DRG_DATA d, #All_duplicatedRecord AS drg

    LEFT JOIN #All_duplicatedRecord AS dup

    ON drg.enc_num = dup.enc_num

    and dup.QUERY_DT_TM = (SELECT MAX(QUERY_DT_TM) FROM #All_duplicatedRecord)

    What I think you want is:

    select enc_num

    from DRG_DATA d

    inner JOIN #All_duplicatedRecord AS dup

    ON d.enc_num = dup.enc_num

    and dup.QUERY_DT_TM = (SELECT MAX(QUERY_DT_TM)

    FROM #All_duplicatedRecord)

    Then you convert this to a DELETE with

    delete d

    from DRG_DATA d

    inner JOIN #All_duplicatedRecord AS dup

    ON d.enc_num = dup.enc_num

    and dup.QUERY_DT_TM = (SELECT MAX(QUERY_DT_TM)

    FROM #All_duplicatedRecord)
