  1. How To Delete Duplicate Row Using Informatica?

Add a Lookup Transformation with Dynamic lookup cache and Source filter set to something like 1=2 - we don't want any data to be read by the lookup in fact.

Set up the Condition to compare all the ports you want to use to determine duplicates (eg. all but the surogate key)

Each new row instance will be assigned the NewLookupPort=1 value. Each subsequent instance (i.e. duplicate) will result in NewLookupPort=2.

Use Filter Transformation to discard all NewLookupPort=1 rows

Use Update Transformation to set DD_DELETE for all the other rows.
