Hi--

I have a table with many records, some of which are duplicates (there is no
unique constraints). How can I contract this table to remove any of these
duplicate records? Like when using GROUP BY in a select statement, except
that I want to just remove the extra entries from this table directly... Any
ideas?


Thanks,

Peter Brown
