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.
Thanks

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'.

table,but not the structure of the table.

Drop:The drop command will drop the table from the databases.

Delete:The delete cmd removes tuples from a relation.It
includes where clause to select the tuples to be deleted.
