Submitted by: MuhammadThe difference between the Delete, Truncate and Drop command is
☛ Delete command is a DML command, it is used to delete rows from a table. It can be rolled back.
☛ Truncate is a DDL command, it is used to delete all the rows from the table and free the space containing the table. It cant be rolled back.
☛ Drop is a DDL command, it removes the complete data along with the table structure(unlike truncate command that removes only the rows). All the tables' rows, indexes, and privileges will also be removed.
