Different points:
1. Truncate and delete Delete only the data do not delete the structure of the table (definition)
The DROP statement deletes the table's structure-dependent constraints (constrain), triggers (trigger), indexes (index); That depends on the table.
Stored procedures/functions are preserved, but become invalid states.
The 2.delete statement is DML, which is placed in the rollback segement, which takes effect after the transaction is committed, and if there is a corresponding trigger,
Execution will be triggered.
Truncate,drop is DDL, the operation takes effect immediately, the original data is not placed in the rollback segment and cannot be rolled back. Operation does not trigger
Trigger.
The 3.delete statement does not affect the extent that the table occupies, and the high watermark (watermark) keeps the original position.
Obviously the drop statement frees up all the space that the table occupies
Truncate statement by default see space released to minextents extent unless the reuse storage is used; Truncate
The high watermark will be reset (back to the beginning).
4. Speed, generally: drop> truncate > Delete
5. Security: Be careful with drop and truncate, especially when there is no backup. Otherwise, it's too late to cry.
Use, to delete some data rows with delete, note the WHERE clause is taken. The rollback segment should be large enough.
Want to delete the table, of course with drop
You want to keep the table and delete all the data. If it has nothing to do with the transaction, use truncate. If it's related to the transaction, or if you want to trigger trigger,
is with the delete.
If you are defragmenting the inside of the table, you can use truncate to keep up with reuse stroage, and then re-import/Insert Data/
Practical application:
Delete from table; Delete all data
TRUNCATE TABLE; The auto_increatement modulation starts at 0, which is actually starting at 1.
