How to delete duplicate records in all tables of the database
I would like to be able to delete all duplicate records in all the tables of the database. Many of the tables have LONG columns.
Thanks.
Hello
To delete duplicates from an individual table you can use a construct like:
DELETE FROM
table_a del_tab
WHERE
del_tab.ROWID <> (SELECT
MAX(dups_tab.ROWID)
FROM
table_a dups_tab
WHERE
dups_tab.col1 = del_tab.col1
AND
dups_tab.col2 = del_tab.col2
)You can then apply this to any table you want. The only differences will be the columns that you join on in the sub query. If you want to look for duplicated data in the long columns themselves, I'm pretty sure you're going to need to do some PL/SQL coding or maybe convert them to blobs or something.

Delete a record from a table in a Database with Database Connectivity
I can't find the function from the Database Connectivity library that allows me to delete a record from a table of the database. I tried to use DB Tools Free Object.vi function but this one deletes only the table created with a query.
ThankyouI have used the sql query as described above and it works fine with access DB and the DB toolkit, the free object vi only deallocated a recordset's references this will noty alter the database since the record is a copy of the databases information. The SQL delete function is very versatile and you should be able to delete records with no problem.

How to delete a record from BSEG table
Dear Experts,
How to delete a record from BSEG table.
If there possible to delete some records from transparent table ?
Please help.
Regards,
TanHi,
Deleting a record from a standard table can be done only if table maintenance exists - Cehck tcode - SM30. But it is not advisable to delete records, coz the records may be dependent on many other tables. If u delete in a single place, there may be chance that inconsistency in the data happens and hence will affect ur financial statements.
Pls. assign points, if useful

How to delete Duplicate records from the informatica target using mapping?
Hi, I have a scenario like below: In my mapping I have a source, which may containg unique records or duplicate records. Source and target are different tables. I have a target in my mapping which contains duplicate records. Using Mapping I have to delete the duplicate records in the target table. Target table does not contain any surrogate key. We can use target table as a look up table, but target table cannot be used as source in the mapping. We cannot use post SQL.

How to delete Duplicate records in IT2006
Dear Experts
We have a situation like where we have duplicate records with same start and end dates in IT2006. This is because of the incorrect configuration which we have corrected now, but we need to do a clean-up for the existing duplicate records. Any idea on how to clean it? I ran report RPTKOK00 to find these duplicates but I could not delete the duplicate/inconsistenct record using report RPTBPC10 or HNZUPTC0, i Could only delete the deductions happened in the record.
Is there any standard report/any other means of deleting the duplicate records created in IT2006?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards
Vignesh.You could probably use se16n to identify the duplicates and create the list of quotas to delete, and you could probably use t-code lsmw to write up a script to delete them, but be aware that you can't delete a Quota if it's been deducted from.
You'd have to delete the Absence/Attendance first, then delete the Quota, then recreate the Absence/Attendance. -
How to delete duplicate records in cube
Hi,
can u help me how to delete the duplicate records in my cube
and tell me some predifined cubes and data sourcess for MM and SD modulesHi Anne,
about "duplicate records" could you be more precise?.
The must be at least one different Characteristic to distinguish one record from the other (at least Request ID). In order to delete Data from InfoCubes (selectively) use ABAP Report RSDRD_DELETE_FACTS (be carefull it does not request any confirmation as in RSA1 ...).
About MM and SD Cubes see RSA1 -> Business Content -> InfoProvider by InfoAreas. See also for MetadataRepository about the same InfoProviders.
About DataSources just execute TCode LBWE in you source sys: there you see all LO-Cockipt Extrators.
Hope it helps (and if so remember reward points)

How to delete duplicate record in Query report
Hi Experts,
I had created an infoset and query in my sap, but I want to delete some duplicate records before the list out put.Please can we add some further codes in the Extras code to delete duplicates? And how do it? Would you please give me a simple brief.
JoeHi,
You can try to restrict in the filter area in query designer with the values for characteristic which gives correct
result.
But still i would suggest that in the cube you keep not the duplicate records as this is not your requirement and giving
you wrong result.
So you can reload the correct records in the cube inorder to avoid such problems even in future.
