Answer 1

Use ROW_NUMBER function to tag the duplicate records ordered by CreatedDate, like this:

;with CTE AS (
    select *, row_NUMBER() over(
                 partition by EnquiryID -- add columns on which you want to identify duplicates
                 ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC) as rn
    FROM TABLE 
)
select * from CTE
where rn = 1

use row_number():

select EnquiryId, Name, . . .
from (select t.*,
             row_number() over (partition by enquiryID order by CreatedDate desc) as seqnum
      from table t
     ) t
where seqnum = 1;
