Hello,
I have Table_1
select * from table_1 ;
number: ****** Name:
1 AA
1 BB
2 CC
3 DD
5 FF
6 DD
6 UU
8 FF
9 SD
9 SS

what is the where condition I need to add to remove any duplicate rows, in the example, I want the select statement to give me the following:
2 CC
3 DD
5 FF
8 FF
you can see that 1,1,6,6,9,9 are removed.
How can I do that

For instance,
where id not in (select id from mytable group by id having count(*) > 1)

or
where id in (select id from mytable group by id having count(*) = 1)


Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals.

With any SQL or PL/SQL question, please, Post a working Test case: create table (including all constraints) and insert statements along with the result you want with these data then we will be able work with your table and data. Explain with words and sentences the rules that lead to this result.

[Edit: add other solution]

Or you can change the query (not just add a WHERE clause) to:
select id, name
from (select id, name, count(*) over (partition by id) cnt from mytable)
where cnt = 1
