I would like to Delete duplicate rows, keeping just the latest based on progid & Update_date.

Delete from tab_prog based on progid/Update_date columns, keeping just latest update_date row.

When i run the below query i can see lot of progid's which has duplicate rows.

select progid from tab_prog group by progid having count(*) >1


Thanks a lot for the helpful info.

DELETE t FROM
(
	SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY progid ORDER BY update_date DESC) AS RN
	FROM tab_prog
) t WHERE RN > 1;
