in thread Dulpicate data? is it worth de-duping?

Ouch!

Removing duplicates from a SQL database is always a fun exercise...

I had the dubious pleasure last year, when I discovered that a table on the production system didn't have a unique index on one of the keys, which led to duplicates there, and ultimately, because this was a mapping table for userId values between two systems, to generating duplicate user records.

    Oops. So, hmm.

    Lol, I started to say 'ok, yours is bigger than mine' because I could easily see that one becoming hell...

    But I'll refrain :) In any case, these were "opportunities for excellence", eh?.

    Where's the laugh track when you need it?
