Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The primary difference between `DELETE` and `TRUNCATE` in SQL lies in their usage and performance. `DELETE` is used to remove specific rows from a table using a condition, supports rollback within a transaction, and logs each deleted row, making it slower for large datasets. It also activates triggers associated with the table. On the other hand, `TRUNCATE` is used to remove all rows from a table, retains the table structure, and operates much faster due to minimal logging. It does not support conditions or activate triggers, making it ideal for quickly clearing entire tables.
