You can create a new table as select distinct from the original table
and rename both tables properly.
Other solution, i demonstrate with an example:
test=*# select ctid,* from doubles ;
ctid | id | name
-------+----+------
(0,1) | 1 | foo
(0,2) | 1 | foo
(0,3) | 2 | bar
(0,4) | 2 | bar
(0,5) | 2 | bar
(0,6) | 3 | batz
(0,7) | 3 | batz
(0,8) | 3 | batz
(8 rows)
test=*# delete from doubles where ctid not in (select distinct on (id, name) ctid from doubles );
DELETE 5
test=*# select ctid,* from doubles ;
ctid | id | name
-------+----+------
(0,1) | 1 | foo
(0,3) | 2 | bar
(0,6) | 3 | batz
(3 rows)
The ctid-column is a hidden column with an unique value within this
table.
