• There are 3 tables which are: 1. a claims table by client number that has the duplicate data wtihin some of the rows. 2. a price table and 3. an authorizagtion table.

    I am thinking of loading the data into temp tables in a way that the data will not be duplicated. If this is a possbility, can you tell me how to accomplish this goal?

    Why do you want to eliminate duplicates from the claims table??.....1 client can have multiple claims....right??.....the price and the authorization table just seem like master tables.

    The price and the authorization tables will have unique values. But, the claims table may have duplicates. Isn,t that how it is supposed to be??....Multiple claims for a client???
