Srikanth writes "Hi ,

I have a database file in which I have some duplicate records which I want to get rid of. Here is an example of a file which has following records

ID	Name	Date		Salary	Loan
--------------------------------------------
100 Joe 10/12/97 ---- --
101 Josh 02/13/73 ---- --
100 Joe 10/12/97 ---- --
102 Job 07/18/86 ---- --
100 Joe 05/08/76 ---- --
etc...


So this has one record duplicating as(for only ID,Name,Date)
100 Joe 10/12/97
100 Joe 10/12/97

If I use select distinct Id,Name,Date from table1... I get my result but I need the other fields too in my resultset.

So I want to get rid of only one record (either of them) using a single SQL Query.

Can you please help me out in writing an SQL query for this...

I apppreciate u'r help in advance.

Thanks..."
