The script is in three parts:
1. A select statement to determine the number of duplicate records contained within the table
2. The deduping process builds a temporary table called #Duplicates and uses it to compare duplicates across both similar tables whilst deleting records with multiple counts
3. Final test of deduping with no records indicating table is clean of duplicates

The script is run against the database with the duplicate table. Ensure the following is replaced with your objects:
DuplicateTable >>> Your Table
Column1,2,3,... >>> Your Column Names
REQUIRED - The table MUST have an Identity Column
TableID >>> Your Table Identity Column
