What is the difference between DELETE and TRUNCATE?

Answer Posted / anitha

If we are using the delete command means the content of the
table will be deleted.but we can recover that data by using
the roll back query in my sql.
But this one is not possible we can use truncate.so some
times of our carelessness we can loss some valuable and
sensitive datas.
so make sure of that before using truncate...
