>I have a table that collects multi-user inputs for processing. Sometimes the processing isn't as fast as the user thinks it should be and submitts the request again. This causes the process problems. Before the process starts how can I go through the table and clean out any first duplicate entries?
You could also avoid duplicates in the first place, with a primary or candidate index.
