Deleting Duplicate Output Table Rows - Aster Analytics

Duplicate output table rows appear because each pair of items appears in two rows—one row has item1 in col1_item1 and item2 in col1_item2, and the other row has item2 in col1_item1 and item1 in col1_item2. To delete duplicate output table rows, use this code (where output_table is the output table name):

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS copy;

CREATE TABLE copy DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(col1_item1)
  AS SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY col1_item1, col1_item2) rn
    FROM  output_table;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS DuplicatesRemoved;

CREATE TABLE DuplicatesRemoved AS SELECT * FROM copy;

DELETE FROM DuplicatesRemoved WHERE rn IN (
  SELECT a.rn FROM DuplicatesRemoved a
  JOIN copy b
  ON a.col1_item1=b.col1_item2 AND a.col1_item2=b.col1_item1 AND a.rn < b.rn);

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS copy;
