 See all table values


select * from EmployeeSalary1
 To See count of duplicate records available in the table
Select *, count(*) as cnt
from EmployeeSalary1 group by employeeID having cnt>1;

 Using Max Function to select records with max SN


(select Max(SN)as MaxID from EmployeeSalary1
group by EmployeeID, JobTitle, Salary)
 Selecting only duplicate records
select * from EmployeeSalary1 where SN not in (select Max(SN)as MaxID from
EmployeeSalary1
group by EmployeeID, JobTitle, Salary)
 Deleting the selected duplicate records
Delete from EmployeeSalary1 where SN not in
(select Max(SN)as MaxID from EmployeeSalary1
group by EmployeeID, JobTitle, Salary)

 With CTE
with cte as(
select SN, EmployeeID,JobTitle, Salary,row_number()
over (partition by EmployeeID,JobTitle, Salary order by EmployeeID,JobTitle,
Salary)row_num
From EmployeeSalary1)
select * from CTE where row_num>1

Delete from CTE where row_num>1


Many editors may not detect the undated CTEs.

 With RANK()
Select E.EmployeeID,
E.JobTitle,
E.Salary,
T.srank from EmployeeSalary E
inner join
(Select *,
Rank() over (Partition By EmployeeID
order by SN,EmployeeID)srank
from EmployeeSalary) T on E.EmployeeID=T.EmployeeID;
 worked
with Temp as(
select SN, EmployeeID,JobTitle, Salary,
rank() over (partition by EmployeeID,JobTitle, Salary order by EmployeeID,SN)s_rank
From EmployeeSalary)
select * from temp where s_rank>=1
