Answer 1

Simply you can do this with using cursors the query might be like this

declare @id int declare @name nvarchar(30)

declare cr cursor for select id,name from idnametbl order by id

for update

open cr

fetch next from cr into @id,@name

while @@fetch_status=0

begin

delete from idnametbl where id> @id and name=@name

fetch next from cr into @id,@name

end

close cr

deallocate cr
