What is the difference between DROP,DELETE,TRUNCATE table ?
Delete:It's an DML command which is used for deleting
particular table in the database...even though we delete the
data we can regain it by rollback command.

Example:SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM emp;

COUNT(*)
----------
14

SQL> DELESQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM emp;

COUNT(*)
----------
14

SQL> DELETE FROM emp WHERE job = 'CLERK';

4 rows deleted.

SQL> COMMIT;

Commit complete.

Truncate:This command is a DDL Command which is used to
delete a table...I Just Conclude it as
Truncate=Delete+Commit...once u applied this on table u
can't get the data back...but the structure will be there..

Example:

SQL> TRUNCATE TABLE emp;

Table truncated.

SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM emp;

COUNT(*)
----------
0

Drop:It is used to destroy entire structure of a
table...once we apply this command on any particular table
we can't get it in anyway...so be cautious while applying
this command.

Example:

SQL> DROP TABLE emp;

Table dropped.

SQL> SELECT * FROM emp;
SELECT * FROM emp
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
