Hello Guru's
(DELETE QUERY)
I have a table that has an account number field and a dollar amount associated with that field. I want to delete one of the fields only, if the dollar amount is the same, and keep the other account number field. How can I go about this, I've tried the following, but it deletes both and it's only for the account number...
In (SELECT [account#] FROM [Table1] As Tmp GROUP BY [account#] ] HAVING Count(*)>1 )
All help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Fish,
Thank you for your response, I tried those scenarios with no success, is there a way that I can change a value to one of the duplicate records for example:
I have a table with an account ID and there is a $ amount associated to that ID, but now I have two duplicate ID's with the same values but for different dates.
So I want to keep both but maybe change the value to the latest record, I dont know if an (IIF) statement would be better for this?

So, what is relevant so far?
You should explain the logic very clearly. If you want to delete one (or all but one) record, then what criteria should be used to distinguish among the duplicates?
Also, it would be helpful to get some idea about the dataset mentioned. Is that query or table? What is query/table SQL/metadata?
Regards,
Fish

Hello to all,
I have a small or big problem with a customer data base, where during a change of
system we might have created duplicate records. This should be easy to find, you
might think, but, we are talking about roughly 10000 records or less in a total
volume of 1 MIO records or more.
I have considered a strategy: The station ID and a field with something like a
sequence number are supposed to be unique during that period. The...

Hi All,
I want to delete duplicate records from a large table.
There is one index(INDEX_U1) on 4 columns(col1,col2,col3,col4) which is in unusable state.
First of all when i tried to rebuild index it showed error as unique key violation.
So i want to delete duplicate records for col1,col2,col3,col4 combination.
How can i delete the duplicate records from this large table?

Hi all. My ultimate goal is to return two columns, where no single value appears anywhere twice. This means that not only do I want to check that nothing from column A appears in column B and vice-versa, but I also don't want the same value appearing twice in A and twice in B.
So far I have:
--Diff the columns
INSERT INTO @Table
SELECT One, Two
FROM @Column1 a
FULL OUTER JOIN @Column2 b

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
