Answer Posted / manub22
–> DELETE:
1. Removes Some or All rows from a table.
2. A WHERE clause can be used to remove some rows. If no WHERE condition is specified, all rows will be removed.
3. Causes all DELETE triggers on the table to fire.
–> TRUNCATE:
1. Removes All rows from a table.
2. Does not require a WHERE clause, so you can not filter rows while Truncating.
3. IDENTITY columns are re-seeded on this operation, if no seed was defined then the default value 1 is used.
4. No Triggers are fired on this operation because it does not operate on individual rows.
