Hi All,

I am have found duplicated and data quality issues via Business Objects and rather
than deleting these entries from the SQL 2005 DB please can you advise what other
options I have?

Many Thanks

You can flag them as duplicate values in a column denoted for Status or similar.

The method peso suggested is known as logical deletion
Alternatively you can add another table if possible and add a script to cleanse out unwanted data to other table
