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。

Truncate and Delete in SQL are two commands which is used to remove or delete data from table. Though quite basic in nature both Sql commands can create lot of trouble until you are familiar with details before using it. An Incorrect choice of command can result is either very slow process or can even blew up log segment, if too much data needs to be removed and log segment is not enough. That's why it's critical to know when to use truncate and delete command in SQL but before using these you should be aware of the Differences between Truncate and Delete, and based upon them, we should be able to find out when DELETE is better option for removing data or TRUNCATE should be used to purge tables.

DELETE语句:该命令只根据where子句中给定的条件从表中删除行，如果没有指定条件，则从表中删除所有行。但是它不会释放包含表的空间。

SQL DELETE语句的语法是:

DELETE FROM table_name [WHERE condition];

TRUNCATE语句:该命令用于删除表中的所有行，并释放包含表的空间。

微软sql server的另一个不同之处在于，使用delete，你可以使用output语句来跟踪哪些记录被删除了，例如:

delete from [SomeTable]
output deleted.Id, deleted.Name

你不能用truncate这样做。

简而言之，truncate不会记录任何内容(因此更快，但不能撤消)，而delete会记录日志(并且可以是更大事务的一部分，将回滚等)。如果您在开发中有不想在表中使用的数据，通常最好截断，因为您不会冒填满事务日志的风险
