To delete similar records, i.e. where the records are not the same but one field is the same and only one copy needs to be preserved, try the following SQL:
delete from T1
from MyTable T1, MyTable T2
where T1.dupField = T2.dupField
and T1.uniqueField > T2.uniqueField
This will delete all records from the table MyTable which have the same value for the field dupField, leaving that record which has the lowest value in uniqueField.
