Define "record 1", "record 2" and so on.

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide.
Post a working Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data.
Use SQL*Plus and copy and paste what you already tried.

i have a table

TRAILID TYPE AEND_NE AEND_PTP ZEND_NE ZEND_PTP J K L M

1:2788 MAIN WBLE1002XM I7-STM-1#7 WAHW1001BU A1_SAM_STM-1#1 1

In this record 1 = record 2 because
AEND_NE in record1 = ZEND_NE in record2
therefore record 1 and record2 are same I want to delete 2nd record.

But in database there is nothing called 1st Record, 2nd record etc.., the records are just there.

In your test case all the other columns except AEND_NE and ZEND_NE are same, however, if we assume that one of the column had different value then which one of them you would like to keep in database and why?

for eg if Trail_ID is different like below then which one of them should be deleted & why?


TRAILID TYPE AEND_NE AEND_PTP ZEND_NE ZEND_PTP J K L M

3:3712 MAIN GNST1004ZH I6-OPS-2 GMWP1003ZH I6-OPS-2 3
1:3712 MAIN GMWP1003ZH I6-OPS-2 GNST1004ZH I6-OPS-2 3

HI,
Record 1 and record2 was just for the example .
I need to delete any of them among them .

TRAILID TYPE AEND_NE AEND_PTP ZEND_NE ZEND_PTP J K L M

If your criteria is to keep any one of the records if aend_ne and zend_ne are same in different records, then following query will help you to identify one of the rows. You can then build on the logic to delete the records from the table


XE@SQL> desc t
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------

 B                                                  VARCHAR2(10)
 C                                                  NUMBER(38)

XE@SQL> select * from t;

A          B                   C

  2  /

A          B                   C A          B                   C

I have tried the same thing but my table structure is like this

A B C

a c 18
c a 18
b d 37
d b 37
e f 22
f e 22
When i did select t1.a,t1.b,t2.a,t2.b from t t1,t t2 where t1.a = t2.b and t1.rowid
!= t2.rowid;
I found this result
A B A_1 B_1

c a a c
a c c a
f e e f
e f f e

instead I want
A B C

a c 18
b d 37
f e 22

So group them by all the columns but this one and this is a standard "delete duplicates" question many times asked and answered.

Could you please explain I am still not able to find the solution.

my condition is

AEND_NE in record1 = ZEND_NE in record2 and
ZEND_NE in record1 = AEND_NE in record2


or
select t1.a,t1.b,t2.a,t2.b from t t1,t t2 where t1.a = t2.b and t1.b = t2.a and t1.rowid
!= t2.rowid;

Is this consistent?
Your condition is on these columns or all columns but them?

I think you want to delete the record from table.
If value of column1 match value of column2.

IS IT TRUE

I could come with following query to delete the records but have not completely tested it. Kindly check if it helps you and also test it thoroughly.


XE@SQL> select t1.a t1a,
  2           t1.b t1b,
  3           t2.a t2a,
  4           t2.b t2b,
  5           lag(t1.rowid) over (order by t2.rowid) t1rid,
  6           t2.rowid t2rid
  7    from t t1,t t2
  8    where t1.a = t2.b
  9    and t1.rowid ! = t2.rowid
 10  /

j     k     q     j     AAADxgAABAAAKfyAAE AAADxgAABAAAKfyAAJ

7 rows selected.

XE@SQL>

XE@SQL>  select * from
  2   (
  3   select t1.a t1a,
  4           t1.b t1b,
  5           t2.a t2a,
  6           t2.b t2b,
  7           lag(t1.rowid) over (order by t2.rowid) t1rid,
  8           t2.rowid t2rid
  9    from t t1,t t2
 10    where t1.a = t2.b
 11    and t1.rowid ! = t2.rowid
 12   )
 13   where t1rid = t2rid
 14  /

e     f     f     e     AAADxgAABAAAKfyAAF AAADxgAABAAAKfyAAF

3 rows selected.

XE@SQL>




Ps. I could not think how to use the other standard delete duplicate query to achieve this since the duplicate values are across columns.

Hi All,
Thanks for the solutions I have got the solution by taking hints

(select "TRAILID","TYPE","AEND_NE","AEND_PTP","ZEND_NE","ZEND_PTP","J","K","L","M" from HO_UNDtrails) minus (SELECT "TRAILID","TYPE","AEND_NE","AEND_PTP","ZEND_NE","ZEND_PTP","J","K","L","M" FROM HO_UNDTRAILS A WHERE
rowid >
(SELECT min(rowid) FROM HO_UNDTRAILS B
WHERE
B.aend_ne = A.zend_ne
and
B.zend_ne = A.aend_ne
and
a.trailid=b.trailid
and
a.type=b.type
and
a.ZEND_PTP=b.AEND_PTP
and
a.AEND_PTP=b.ZEND_PTP
and a.J=b.J
))
