DELETE:-
1.it is a DML stmt
2.it can include WHERE condition
3.it is only delete, so it can be rolled back can be ROLL
BACK
TRUNCATE:-
1.it is a DDL stmt
2.it can not include WHERE cnd
3.it is delete+commit ,so we cant roll back can not be ROLL
BACK
Both commands accomplish identical tasks (removing all data
from a table), but TRUNCATE is much faster
Reason:When you type DELETE.all the data get copied into
the Rollback Tablespace first.then delete operation get
performed.Thatswhy when you type ROLLBACK after deleting a
table ,you can get back the data(The system get it for you
from the Rollback Tablespace).All this process take
time.But when you type TRUNCATE,it removes data directly
without copying it into the Rollback Tablespace.Thatswhy
TRUNCATE is faster.Once you Truncate you cann't get back
the data.
