hi,
Use following Sql statement to retrieve duplicate rows in database.
select * from dup_tab a where dup_col in
(select b.dup_col from dup_tab b where a.dup_col=b.dup_col and a.rowid>b.rowid )

to delete those rows from table :

delete from dup_tab a where dup_col in
(select b.dup_col from dup_tab b where a.dup_col=b.dup_col and a.rowid>b.rowid )
