Re: Duplicate records

I'm thinking you could do something like this in Interactive SQL. I'm just
thinking outloud, I've never tried this.

CREATE TABLE QTEMP/TEMPTABLE AS (SELECT DISTINCT * FROM MYTABLE) WITH DATA
DELETE FROM MYTABLE
INSERT INTO MYTABLE SELECT * FROM QTEMP/TEMPTABLE
DROP TABLE QTEMP/TEMPTABLE.

Thanks,

Mark

I have a PF with no keys. All records in this PF are duplicate, exactly
same. What is a better way to remove all such duplicates? This is one time
problem.

I thought of a program to read the file, read first record, keep it, read
second and delete it and reset the counter. SQL of any help here?
