Hi Experts .

I have table Temp_decimal_mismatch which has duplicate data . The duplicate data is not start forward to remove .

Untitled

Here the row highlighted in yellow is a duplicate . If you see the same data is present in row 1 but in reverse order. I have to get rid rid of the duplicate row.

Sample query is attached

Drop table [Temp_decimal_mismatch]

CREATE TABLE dbo.[Temp_decimal_mismatch](
[TABLE_SCHEMA] [nvarchar](128) NULL,
[TABLE_NAME] [sysname] NOT NULL,
[COLUMN_NAME] [sysname] NULL,
[datatype] [nvarchar](151) NULL,
[TABLE_SCHEMA_2] [nvarchar](128) NULL,
[TABLE_NAME_2] [sysname] NOT NULL,
[COLUMN_NAME_2] [sysname] NULL,
[datatype_2] [nvarchar](151) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO
INSERT dbo.[Temp_decimal_mismatch] ([TABLE_SCHEMA], [TABLE_NAME], [COLUMN_NAME], [datatype], [TABLE_SCHEMA_2], [TABLE_NAME_2], [COLUMN_NAME_2], [datatype_2]) VALUES (N'ressystem', N'TableA', N'alloc_pct', N'DECIMAL(7,6)', N'dbo', N'TableB', N'alloc_pct', N'DECIMAL(10,6)')
INSERT dbo.[Temp_decimal_mismatch] ([TABLE_SCHEMA], [TABLE_NAME], [COLUMN_NAME], [datatype], [TABLE_SCHEMA_2], [TABLE_NAME_2], [COLUMN_NAME_2], [datatype_2]) VALUES (N'dbo', N'TableB', N'alloc_pct', N'DECIMAL(10,6)', N'ressystem', N'TableA', N'alloc_pct', N'DECIMAL(7,6)')
INSERT dbo.[Temp_decimal_mismatch] ([TABLE_SCHEMA], [TABLE_NAME], [COLUMN_NAME], [datatype], [TABLE_SCHEMA_2], [TABLE_NAME_2], [COLUMN_NAME_2], [datatype_2]) VALUES (N'ressystem', N'TableA', N'base_amt', N'DECIMAL(18,6)', N'dbo', N'TableB', N'base_amt', N'DECIMAL(14,2)')
INSERT dbo.[Temp_decimal_mismatch] ([TABLE_SCHEMA], [TABLE_NAME], [COLUMN_NAME], [datatype], [TABLE_SCHEMA_2], [TABLE_NAME_2], [COLUMN_NAME_2], [datatype_2]) VALUES (N'dbo', N'TableB', N'base_amt', N'DECIMAL(14,2)', N'ressystem', N'TableA', N'base_amt', N'DECIMAL(18,6)')

Select * from dbo.[Temp_decimal_mismatch]?

What is the PK of this table?

There is [TABLE_SCHEMA], [TABLE_NAME], [COLUMN_NAME], [datatype] is the pk

You mean this column?

[datatype] [nvarchar](151) NULL,

Seems an odd choice. Also, this column is nullable and therefore cannot be a PK.

That's fine, but at least make sure your fake table and data make sense. Can you repost your fake table with a PK defined? The PK is needed for the duplicate deletion.

This works, but it would be much simpler with a PK field. (I used all of the fields in place of a PK.)

WITH standardized_mismatches AS
(
SELECT o.*
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY st.TABLE_SCHEMA, st.TABLE_NAME, st.COLUMN_NAME, st.datatype, st.TABLE_SCHEMA_2, st.TABLE_NAME_2, st.COLUMN_NAME_2, st.datatype_2 ORDER BY o.TABLE_SCHEMA, o.TABLE_NAME, o.COLUMN_NAME, o.datatype, o.TABLE_SCHEMA_2, o.TABLE_NAME_2, o.COLUMN_NAME_2, o.datatype_2) st_rn
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY o.TABLE_SCHEMA, o.TABLE_NAME, o.COLUMN_NAME, o.datatype, o.TABLE_SCHEMA_2, o.TABLE_NAME_2, o.COLUMN_NAME_2, o.datatype_2 ORDER BY st.TABLE_SCHEMA, st.TABLE_NAME, st.COLUMN_NAME, st.datatype, st.TABLE_SCHEMA_2, st.TABLE_NAME_2, st.COLUMN_NAME_2, st.datatype_2) o_rn
FROM #Temp_decimal_mismatch AS o -- original
CROSS APPLY
(
VALUES
(TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, datatype, TABLE_SCHEMA_2, TABLE_NAME_2, COLUMN_NAME_2, datatype_2)
,(TABLE_SCHEMA_2, TABLE_NAME_2, COLUMN_NAME_2, datatype_2, TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, datatype)
) st(TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, datatype, TABLE_SCHEMA_2, TABLE_NAME_2, COLUMN_NAME_2, datatype_2) -- standardized
)
DELETE m
FROM standardized_mismatches m
WHERE m.o_rn = 1
AND m.st_rn = 2
;
