>From SQL select, found how many each 

Select ID, Count(*)"occurance" 
from YOUR_TABLE 
group by ID 
into query_link

>From Select

from query_link
where occurance > 1
into table_of_multiple

- SAVE table_of_multiple (because you  will need to make a link and it's only possible 
on base table)
- Close it to remove from memory
- Open table_of_multiple (base table)


>From SQL select,

Select * 
from YOUR_TABLE, table_of_multiple 
where YOUR_TABLE.ID = table_of_multiple.ID
into objet_with_multiple_id
Browse * From objet_with_multiple_id

You now have selected all the object from you table selected. You may want to delete, 
cut and paste it in other table, update the column id, etc

Subject: MI-L Deleting same ID's


Dear all

I have a table with 40'000 records. In there are records which have three or more 
times the same ID. I need only one record of the same ID. How could I delete the 
others by using a query?

Thank you for providing me with the appropriate solution.

With kind regards

C. Cattaneo
