delete duplicate records in sql server

                                  In this article we will see how to delete duplicate records by using
Comman table expression : and Row_number() function in sql server.

Example:

step1: Create a table

       CREATE TABLE #TEMP
     (
               id int
              ,city VARCHAR(50)
              ,sNAME VARCHAR(50)

     )

step2: insert data into table

        INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(1,'sangli','SANDIPg')

        INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(2,'sangli','SANDIPg')

        INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(3,'sangli','SANDIPg')

        INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(4,'sangli','SANDIPg')

        INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(5,'sangli','SANDIPg')

       INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(6,'kolhapur','SANDIP')

       INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(7,'kolhapur','SANDIP')

       INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(8,'kolhapur','SANDIP')

       INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(9,'mumbai','SANDIP')

        INSERT INTO #TEMP (id,city,SNAME)VALUES(10,'mumbai','SANDIP')

step3:: use below query for delete a duplicate records from your table

      WITH CTE AS
    (
              select id,city,SNAME, row_number()
              over(partition by SNAME order byid desc)
              duplicate_id from #TEMP
    )
          deleteCTE where duplicate_id>1
          select * from #temp

explaination::
