Hi,

try this

create table #temp1

(

id int,

reg_no int,

leave int,

typeid int,

allowed varchar(50),

remarks varchar(50)

)

insert into #temp1

select 1906, 10800720, 1, 2,'Night stay', 'with local guardian is not'

union all

select 1909, 10800720, 1, 2,'Night stay', 'with local guardian is not'

union all

select 1910, 10800720, 2, 3,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'

union all

select 1907, 10800720, 2, 3,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'

union all

select 1908, 10800720, 3, 2,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'

union all

select 1911, 10800720, 3, 2,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'

01)

select max(id),reg_no,leave,typeid,allowed,remarks into /*temp table*/

from #temp1

group by reg_no,leave,typeid,allowed,remarks

insert this values into temp table and delete the records from the main table then again

insert this temp table recorde to the main table

02)

Delete a

from #temp1 a,

(select min(id)id,reg_no,leave,typeid from #temp1

group by reg_no,leave,typeid

having count(reg_no)> 1)as b

where

a.id = b.id and

a.reg_no = b.reg_no and

a.leave = b.leave and

a.typeid = b.typeid

try this one

i want to delete the duplicate records based on regno and leavetypeid. Output should be like this:

Delete from

(

Select rank() over (partition by regno,leavetypid order by regno) as rankid,

[all other columns]

from

table

)

table

where

rankid > 1

Try this. (using the temp table as proposed by arun.sas) for this test

;with numbered as(SELECT rowno=row_number() over(partition by reg_no,leave,typeid order by reg_no),

reg_no,ID,leave,typeid,allowed,remarks from #temp1)

Then use the following to verify the result.

select * from numbered

If the result is satisfactory then do the work by:

DELETE FROM numbered WHERE Rowno > 1

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

You really need to try your own suggestion... 😉

I believe this is what shamassaeedmr was after... it doesn't require a temp table, it leaves only the required rows, and it's nasty fast...

--===== As the others have done, create and populate a test table.
     -- I added the expected clustered primary key.
drop table Temp1
create table Temp1
(
id int PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
reg_no int,
leave int,
typeid int,
allowed varchar(50),
remarks varchar(50)
)

insert into Temp1
select 1906, 10800720, 1, 2,'Night stay', 'with local guardian is not'
union all 
select 1909, 10800720, 1, 2,'Night stay', 'with local guardian is not'
union all 
select 1910, 10800720, 2, 3,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'
union all 
select 1907, 10800720, 2, 3,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'
union all 
select 1908, 10800720, 3, 2,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'
union all 
select 1911, 10800720, 3, 2,'Permitted', 'by father on 14/07/09'

--===== Do the deletes without a temp table or aggregation
;WITH
cteRowNum AS
(
 SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Reg_No,Leave,TypeID ORDER BY ID DESC) AS RowNum,
        ID
   FROM Temp1
)
 DELETE cteRowNum
  WHERE RowNum >1

--===== Display the results for confirmation
 SELECT * FROM Temp1
