在这个例子中，Truncate也可以被rollback

begin Tran
delete from  Employee

select * from Employee
Rollback
select * from Employee

这两个操作的另一个区别是，如果表包含一个标识列，则在TRUNCATE下该列的计数器将重置1(或为该列定义的种子值)。DELETE没有这种影响。

truncate和delete的区别如下:

在SQL Server 2005中，我相信你可以回滚截断

它方便的一个重要原因是，当您需要刷新数百万行表中的数据，但又不想重新构建它时。“Delete *”会花费很长时间，而Truncate对性能的影响可以忽略不计。

一眨眼的功夫就不能做DDL。
