SQL中TRUNCATE和DELETE的区别是什么?

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

都是很好的答案,我必须补充一句:

由于TRUNCATE TABLE是一个DDL(数据定义语言)命令,而不是DML(数据操作语言)命令,删除触发器不会运行。

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。

DELETE The DELETE command is used to remove rows from a table. A WHERE clause can be used to only remove some rows. If no WHERE condition is specified, all rows will be removed. After performing a DELETE operation you need to COMMIT or ROLLBACK the transaction to make the change permanent or to undo it. Note that this operation will cause all DELETE triggers on the table to fire. TRUNCATE TRUNCATE removes all rows from a table. The operation cannot be rolled back and no triggers will be fired. As such, TRUCATE is faster and doesn't use as much undo space as a DELETE. DROP The DROP command removes a table from the database. All the tables' rows, indexes and privileges will also be removed. No DML triggers will be fired. The operation cannot be rolled back. DROP and TRUNCATE are DDL commands, whereas DELETE is a DML command. Therefore DELETE operations can be rolled back (undone), while DROP and TRUNCATE operations cannot be rolled back.

一眨眼的功夫就不能做DDL。
