  • Sy-1148362 (11/30/2013)


    Hi There!

    I have an Employee table with Columns:

    EmpID | FirstName | MiddleName | LastName | SSN | BirthDate | HireDate | City | Zip

    Requirement: I have to identify the duplicate records based on below criteria:

    Criteria1: SSN

    Criteria2: FirstName, LastName, BirthDate

    Criteria2: FirstName, LastName, City, Zip

    Please tell how to accomplish this task........Thanks in Advance

    A search on this site would show you quite a few ways to identify duplicates.

    The use of ROW_NUMBER or GROUP BY being a couple that come to mind.

    With your criteria specified multiple times though you're not quite clear on how you would like to handle this.

    Maybe posting what you've tried as has been suggested would give an idea of what you are actually trying to do.
