I have the below table with the below records in it
create table employee
(
EmpId number,
EmpName varchar2(10),
EmpSSN varchar2(11)
);
insert into employee values(1, 'Jack', '555-55-5555');
insert into employee values (2, 'Joe', '555-56-5555');
insert into employee values (3, 'Fred', '555-57-5555');

insert into employee values (6, 'Lisa', '555-70-5555');
insert into employee values (1, 'Jack', '555-55-5555');
insert into employee values (4, 'Mike', '555-58-5555');
insert into employee values (5, 'Cathy', '555-59-5555');
insert into employee values (6 ,'Lisa', '555-70-5555');
insert into employee values (5, 'Cathy', '555-59-5555');
insert into employee values (6, 'Lisa', '555-70-5555');
I dont have any primary key in this table .But i have the above records in my table already.
I want to remove the duplicate records which has the same value in EmpId and EmpSSN fields.
Ex : Emp id 5
Can any one help me to frame a query to delete those duplicate records
Thanks in advance
