DELETE 
FROM MyTable
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
              SELECT min(RowID)
              FROM Mytable
              WHERE (SELECT RowID 
                     FROM Mytable
                     GROUP BY Col1, Col2, Col3
                     ))
               );

这个查询为我展示了非常好的性能:

DELETE tbl
FROM
    MyTable tbl
WHERE
    EXISTS (
        SELECT
            *
        FROM
            MyTable tbl2
        WHERE
            tbl2.SameValue = tbl.SameValue
        AND tbl.IdUniqueValue < tbl2.IdUniqueValue
    )

它在30秒多一点的时间内从2M的表中删除了1M行(50%重复)

我更喜欢CTE从sql server表中删除重复的行

WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT *,ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY col1,col2,col3 ORDER BY col1,col2,col3) AS RN
FROM MyTable
)

DELETE FROM CTE WHERE RN<>1

不保留原创

WITH CTE AS
(SELECT *,R=RANK() OVER (ORDER BY col1,col2,col3)
FROM MyTable)
 
DELETE CTE
WHERE R IN (SELECT R FROM CTE GROUP BY R HAVING COUNT(*)>1)

我更喜欢子查询\having count(*) > 1解决方案内部连接，因为我发现它更容易阅读，它很容易变成一个SELECT语句来验证什么将被删除，然后再运行它。

--DELETE FROM table1 
--WHERE id IN ( 
     SELECT MIN(id) FROM table1 
     GROUP BY col1, col2, col3 
     -- could add a WHERE clause here to further filter
     HAVING count(*) > 1
--)

另一种方法是创建一个具有相同字段和唯一索引的新表。然后将所有数据从旧表移动到新表。自动SQL SERVER忽略(也有一个选项说明如果有重复值该怎么做:忽略，中断或…)重复值。所以我们有相同的表，没有重复的行。如果你不想要唯一索引，传输数据后，你可以放弃它。

特别是对于较大的表，您可以使用DTS (SSIS包导入/导出数据)，以便将所有数据快速传输到新的唯一索引表中。700万行只需要几分钟。

alter table MyTable add sno int identity(1,1)
    delete from MyTable where sno in
    (
    select sno from (
    select *,
    RANK() OVER ( PARTITION BY RowID,Col3 ORDER BY sno DESC )rank
    From MyTable
    )T
    where rank>1
    )

    alter table MyTable 
    drop  column sno
