I have this query which I found to get duplicate records:
SELECT x.[Constituent Number], x.[First Name], x.[Last or Org Name],x.[Address Line 1], Cnt = Count(*)
FROM (
SELECT SR.[Constituent Number], SR.[First Name], SR.[Last or Org Name], SR.[Address Line 1]
FROM dbo.['All Salsa Records TL$'] SR
UNION ALL
SELECT WD.[Member Number], WD.[First Name], wd.[Last or Org Name], WD.[Address Line 1]
FROM dbo.['Workling to delete$'] WD
) x
GROUP BY x.[Constituent Number], x.[First Name],x.[Last or Org Name],x.[Address Line 1]
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
This is between two tables. How would I go about deleting records from the master table to match this queries selected results?
EDIT: I managed to figure it out using this code:
DELETE SR
--SELECT SR.[Constituent Number], SR.[First Name], SR.[Last or Org Name]
FROM dbo.['All Salsa Records TL$'] AS SR
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.['Workling to delete$'] WD
ON WD.[Member Number] = SR.[Constituent Number]
AND WD.[First Name] = SR.[First Name]
AND WD.[Last or Org Name] = SR.[Last or Org Name]
AND WD.[Address Line 1] = SR.[Address Line 1]
AND WD.[City] = SR.[City]
AND WD.[State] = SR.[State]
WHERE SR.[Constituent Number] = WD.[Member Number]
AND WD.[First Name] = SR.[First Name]
AND WD.[Last or Org Name] = SR.[Last or Org Name]
AND WD.[Address Line 1] = SR.[Address Line 1]
AND WD.[City] = SR.[City]
AND WD.[State] = SR.[State]
For the nulls, I just used this (and changed accordingly as I had 11 records with null constituents and 26 records with null addresses):
DELETE SR
--SELECT SR.[Constituent Number], SR.[First Name], SR.[Last or Org Name]
FROM dbo.['All Salsa Records TL$'] AS SR
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.['Workling to delete$'] WD
ON WD.[Member Number] = SR.[Constituent Number]
AND WD.[First Name] = SR.[First Name]
AND WD.[Last or Org Name] = SR.[Last or Org Name]
AND WD.[Address Line 1] IS NULL
AND WD.[City] IS NULL
AND WD.[State] IS NULL
WHERE SR.[Constituent Number] = WD.[Member Number]
AND WD.[First Name] = SR.[First Name]
AND WD.[Last or Org Name] = SR.[Last or Org Name]
AND SR.[Address Line 1] IS NULL
AND SR.[City] IS NULL
AND SR.[State] IS NULL
If ['All Salsa Records TL$'] is your master table and [Constituent Number] is the column against which you want to delete rows then :
with cte as(
SELECT x.[Constituent Number], x.[First Name], x.[Last or Org Name],x.[Address Line 1], Cnt = Count(*)
FROM (
SELECT SR.[Constituent Number], SR.[First Name], SR.[Last or Org Name], SR.[Address Line 1]
FROM dbo.['All Salsa Records TL$'] SR
UNION ALL
SELECT WD.[Member Number], WD.[First Name], wd.[Last or Org Name], WD.[Address Line 1]
FROM dbo.['Workling to delete$'] WD
) x
GROUP BY x.[Constituent Number], x.[First Name],x.[Last or Org Name],x.[Address Line 1]
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)
delete dbo.['All Salsa Records TL$'] where [Constituent Number] in (select [Constituent Number] from cte)
