I have two tables : Product and ProductRateDetail. The parent table is Product. I have duplicate records in the product table which need to be unique. There are entries in the ProductRateDetail table which correspond to duplicate records in the product table.

Somehow I need to update the ProductRateDetail table to match the original (older) ID from the Product table and then remove the duplicates from the product table. I would do this manually but there are 100's of records. i.e. something like

UPDATE tbl_productRateDetail SET productID = (originalID from tbl_product)

then something like

DELETE from tbl_product WHERE duplicate ID

and only delete the recently added ID data

example: (sorry can't work out this formatting thing)

tbl_Product

select * from dbo.Product where ProductCode = '10003'

ProductID    ProductTypeID    ProductDescription       ProductCode     ProductSize
365          1             BEND DOUBLE FLANGED      10003           80mmX90deg
1354            1             BEND DOUBLE FLANGED      10003           80mmX90deg

tbl_ProductRateDetail

SELECT * FROM [MSTS2].[dbo].[ProductRateDetail] WHERE ProductID in (365,1354)

ProductRateDetailID ProductRateID   ProductID   UnitRate
365                    1               365            16.87
1032                   5               365            16.87
