Abstract
A technique for deleting duplicate records referenced in an index of a database is disclosed. In one embodiment, the technique may be realized by receiving a record; determining a fingerprint for the record; comparing the fingerprint of the record with fingerprints of previously indexed records; and, when the comparing act determines that the fingerprint of the current received record is the same as at least one of the fingerprints of any of the previously indexed records, identifying the current record as a record to be deleted.
