Good Code...however the code will delete all the duplicates... you may want to add:

delete top(n) clause in your delete statement to exactly delete the required number of records.

we have to use the group by with having command to get the duplicate values. this query shall show the result of only the users have duplicate values in the employee table.

Syntex:
Select columnName From Table_name
Group By columnName
Having count (*) > 1

Example:
SELECT  UserID FROM employee
GROUP BY userid
HAVING count( * ) > 1

The fill factor simply says how large or how full to get our index pages
you can set it as 70% ,

If set to 100% it might me a bad thing if we had a lot of DML activity but if this is a read only table then
fill factor=100% is fine.

I would use full-text indexing as you are on the latest version. Create and store the html in varbinary(max) column and set its associated file type to ".html" in a file type column. Then enable full-text index, so indexer will parse the data and search only the text content while ignoring the HTML tags. We had been using blob to store the documents, with the new features have come out in the later versions, this seems to be best option. We are in the process of migrating one of the app to use varbinary and to take advantage of the search feature. There is another way of storing using filestrem. Here is a good read-up from MS . FILESTREAM enables SQL Server-based applications to store unstructured data, such as documents and images, on the file system. Applications can leverage the rich streaming APIs and performance of the file system and at the same time maintain transactional consistency between the unstructured data and corresponding structured data http://blogs.msdn.com/b/manisblog/archive/2007/10/21/filestream-data-type-sql-server-2008.aspx Here is another old report from MS back in 2006 explains about using oldway of BLOG http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=64525 There are multiple options for you, pick the best approach that matches your needs Thanks, Suji

Here are the Binary data types in sql server - bit, binary, varbinary, image. Bit variables store a single bit with a value of 0, 1 or NULL. binary(n) variables store n bytes of fixed-size binary data. They may store a maximum of 8,000 bytes. varbinary(n) variables store variable-length binary data of approximately n bytes. They may store a maximum of 8,000 bytes. image variables store up to 2 gigabytes of data and are commonly used to store any type of data file. Rest of the data types are non-binary
