Answer Posted / hrindows@gmail.com
DELETE TABLE is a logged operation, and every row deleted is logged. Therefore, the process is usually slow.
TRUNCATE TABLE also deletes rows in a table, but it will not log any of the rows deleted. The process is faster here in comparison. TRUNCATE TABLE can be rolled back and is functionally similar to the DELETE statement without a WHERE clause.
