Thanks for reply:). one more question I have. What is the difference between max(id), min(id)
and when we use it?

In checking of duplicate records: keeping Max id row with deleting of min ids.
And for min(id) keeping minimum Id row and deleting rest max id rows vice-versa
Ex..Row ID 1,2,3,4...
in min(id) case it will keep 1 and delete rest of rows.... like that
