如果将TRUNCATE包装在事务中,则可以回滚。

截断与删除是SQL面试中最臭名昭著的问题之一。一定要向面试官解释清楚,否则可能会让你丢掉这份工作。问题是没有多少人意识到这一点,所以如果你告诉他们YES Truncate可以回滚,他们很可能会认为答案是错误的。

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语句可以有一个WHERE子句来删除特定的记录,而TRUNCATE语句不需要任何子句并擦除整个表。 重要的是,DELETE语句记录删除日期,而TRUNCATE语句不记录删除日期。

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。

一眨眼的功夫就不能做DDL。

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. TRUNCATE TRUNCATE removes all rows from a table. The operation cannot be rolled back and no triggers will be fired. As such, TRUNCATE is faster and doesn't use as much undo space as a DELETE. Table level lock will be added when Truncating. 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. Row level lock will be added when deleting.
