what is the difference between delete and truncate?..

Answer / kadambari

Difference between Delete and Truncate :-

1. Truncate is a DDL statement hence it implicitly commits;
Delete is a DML statement hence we have to manually perform
commit.

2. Truncate doesn't fire the delete trigger hence it is
faster than Delete operation.

3. Once Truncated, data cannot be roll-backed; Delete
operation can be roll-backed.

4. Truncate resets the High water mark and frees up all the
extents; Delete doesn't reset the High water mark.

Answer / nithya

The basic difference between delete and truncate is 'high
water mark'. High water mark indicates the max level to
which the data has risen in the table.

Deleting a table removes only the data from it whereas

Truncating a table removes all the data from the table and
resets the relevant pointers including 'high water mark'.
