where (select count(*) from TableA b
where acol1+ +col2 = b.col1+ +col2)>1
But the performance is very bad.
Data is also huge
Can you help me

This query will give the duplicate: -
select Col1, Col2, count(*) as cnt
-
from TableA
-
group by Col, Col2
-
having count(*) >1
-
Look at cnt column. If it says "2" it means you have two records on your table with the same col1 and col2. This means it will return the unique combination of the two columns and the number of rows that are duplicate. Not the actual duplicate rows. Make sense?

Sorry for troubling you again.
I am loading the data using SSIS.
If there r 2 duplicates only one should be loaded into the
target table ,the remaining should go into another table.
Is this possible in SSIS.
Thank you for helping me and giving me all the above query's
Thank you

Am not sure if it's possible in SSIS.
What you could do is to create a trigger on your target table. If the value you're trying to insert on your table is already existing, insert it to another table and rollback the transaction.
On T-SQL, it would've been different. Depending on your case, a DISTINCT might be sufficient enough. If not, you might need to further analyze your table and establish an algorithm on which record to keep and which record to throw.

Permission to see the table and do a SELECT on it, yes. Other rights and permissions, no. Call your admin to raise your permission rights.

Which query?
This: -
-
select Col1, Col2
-
from TableA
-
group by Col, Col2
-
having count(*) >1
-
-
will only return one row for each pair.

To see the complete records of duplicate in employee table, try this: -
select * from employee e1
-
inner join (select e2.id, count(*) cnt from employee e2 group by id having count(*) > 1) dups on dups.id = e1.id
-
order by id
-
Happy coding!
