删除带有警告的重复项

Question

我有一个带有rowID，经度，纬度，businessName，url，标题的表。可能看起来像：

rowID | long  | lat |  businessName | url | caption

  1      20     -20     Pizza Hut   yum.com  null

如何删除所有重复项，但仅保留一个具有URL的副本（第一优先级），或者如果另一个不具有URL的标题（第二优先级），则保留具有标题的副本，然后删除其余重复项？

这是我的循环技术。这可能会因为没有成为主流而被否决-我对此很满意。

DECLARE @LoopVar int

DECLARE
  @long int,
  @lat int,
  @businessname varchar(30),
  @winner int

SET @LoopVar = (SELECT MIN(rowID) FROM Locations)

WHILE @LoopVar is not null
BEGIN
  --initialize the variables.
  SELECT 
    @long = null,
    @lat = null,
    @businessname = null,
    @winner = null

  -- load data from the known good row.  
  SELECT
    @long = long,
    @lat = lat,
    @businessname = businessname
  FROM Locations
  WHERE rowID = @LoopVar

  --find the winning row with that data
  SELECT top 1 @Winner = rowID
  FROM Locations
  WHERE @long = long
    AND @lat = lat
    AND @businessname = businessname
  ORDER BY
    CASE WHEN URL is not null THEN 1 ELSE 2 END,
    CASE WHEN Caption is not null THEN 1 ELSE 2 END,
    RowId

  --delete any losers.
  DELETE FROM Locations
  WHERE @long = long
    AND @lat = lat
    AND @businessname = businessname
    AND @winner != rowID

  -- prep the next loop value.
  SET @LoopVar = (SELECT MIN(rowID) FROM Locations WHERE @LoopVar < rowID)
END
