How can I delete duplicate rows where no unique row id exists?
My table is
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5 col6 col7
john 1 1 1 1 1 1
john 1 1 1 1 1 1
sally 2 2 2 2 2 2
sally 2 2 2 2 2 2
I want to be left with the following after the duplicate removal:
john 1 1 1 1 1 1
sally 2 2 2 2 2 2
I've tried a few queries but I think they depend on having a row id as I don't get the desired result. For example:
DELETE
FROM table
WHERE col1 IN (
SELECT id
FROM table
GROUP BY id
HAVING (COUNT(col1) > 1)
)
