SQL - Deleting duplicate columns only if another column matches [duplicate]



This question already has an answer here:



I have the following table (TBL_VIDEO) with duplicate column entries in "TIMESTAMP", and I want to remove them only if the "CAMERA" number matches.



BEFORE:


ANALYSIS_ID | TIMESTAMP | EMOTION | CAMERA
-------------------------------------------
1 | 5 | HAPPY | 1
2 | 10 | SAD | 1
3 | 10 | SAD | 1
4 | 5 | HAPPY | 2
5 | 15 | ANGRY | 2
6 | 15 | HAPPY | 2



AFTER:


ANALYSIS_ID | TIMESTAMP | EMOTION | CAMERA
-------------------------------------------
1 | 5 | HAPPY | 1
2 | 10 | SAD | 1
4 | 5 | HAPPY | 2
5 | 15 | ANGRY | 2



I have attempted this statement but the columns wouldn't delete accordingly. I appreciate all the help to produce a correct SQL statement. Thanks in advance!


delete y
from TBL_VIDEO y
where exists (select 1 from TBL_VIDEO y2 where y.TIMESTAMP = y2.TIMESTAMP and y2.ANALYSIS_ID < y.ANALYSIS_ID, y.CAMERA = y.CAMERA, y2.CAMERA = y2.CAMERA);

Other solution :


delete f1 from yourtable f1
where exists
(
select * from yourtable f2
where f2.TIMESTAMP=f1.TIMESTAMP and f2.CAMERA=f1.CAMERA and f1.ANALYSIS_ID>f2.ANALYSIS_ID
)





This worked. Thank you!

try this:


delete f2 from (
select row_number() over(partition by TIMESTAMP, CAMERA order by ANALYSIS_ID) rang
from yourtable f1
) f2 where f2.rang>1





+1 This will work. But just a small remark. Adding the fields in the sub-query is handy if you want to replace that delete f2 by a select * to test what will be deleted. But those are actually not required for the delete. Just the rang alone would be enough.

use row_number and find the duplicate and delete them


row_number


delete from
(select *,row_number() over(partition by TIMESTAMP,CAMERA order by ANALYSIS_ID) as rn from TBL_VIDEO
) t1 where rn>1


;WITH cte
AS
(
select ANALYSIS_ID,
ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by TIMESTAMP, CAMERA order by ANALYSIS_ID) rnk
)

DELETE FROM cte WHERE cte.rnk > 1



You can use subquery :


subquery


select v.*
from tbl_video v
where analysis_id = (select min(v1.analysis_id)
from tbl_video v1
where v1.timestamp = v.timestamp and
v1.camera = v.camera
);



However, analytical function with top (1) with ties clause also useful :


top (1) with ties


select top (1) with ties v.*
from tbl_video v
order by row_number() over (partition by v.timestamp, v.camera order by v.analysis_id);



So, your delete version would be :


delete


delete v
from tbl_video v
where analysis_id = (select min(v1.analysis_id)
from tbl_video v1
where v1.timestamp = v.timestamp and
v1.camera = v.camera
);
