Some people ask for a script to delete duplicate rows and keep only one row in a table. This T-SQL script sample will show you by creating a new table TestTable to imitate your table and a temporary table #TempTable. All the duplicate data will be stored in the temporary table. After executed, it will generate 2 tables, one to show you the duplicate data and a table to show the final result.
