Hm on second thoughts :)   That removes all the records that are duplicated, whereas you want to keep the first record but delete the remaining ones...  Apologies for the misunderstanding. <AMNESIA DUST IN THE FACE>   Looking at the most excellent page mentioned previously, http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=3331 - if you have an ID field that has the same value for each group of duplicated records, you wont need to group on every field - grouping on your ID field will be sufficient.   Aaron   ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron DC To: CFAussie Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 12:08 PM Subject: [cfaussie] Re: How can I remove duplicate records in SQL Server 2000? Hi George   Would something like the following work for you?   DELETE FROM YourTable WHERE YourID IN (SELECT YourID  FROM YourTable  GROUP BY YourID  HAVING COUNT(YourID) > 1)   HTH Aaron   ----- Original Message ----- From: George Lu To: CFAussie Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 9:07 AM Subject: [cfaussie] How can I remove duplicate records in SQL Server 2000? Hi,   Somehow I don't know what happened I've got duplicate records (two records have same value in all fields including ID). I can't set primary key since ID field is duplicated.   Could anyone tell me how to remove the duplicate record or merge two duplicated records into one in SQL or CF?   Thanks, George --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ AMES (Adult Multicultural Education Services) www.ames.net.au Disclaimer ********************************************************************** This email and any attachments may be confidential.
