Question 23: What is the difference between TRUNCATE and DELETE commands?
 

 The DELETE command is used to remove rows from a table.

  A WHERE clause can be used to remove some rows only.

  If no WHERE condition is specified, all rows will be removed.

  After performing a DELETE operation you need to COMMIT the transaction to make the change permanent.

  If not committed, the change can be rolled back using the ROLLBACK statement, so the deleted data can be restored.

  This operation will cause all DELETE triggers on the table to fire.

 The TRUNCATE command removes all rows from a table.

  The operation cannot be rolled back, i.e., the operation is permanent.

  NO triggers will be fired.

  As such, TRUCATE is faster and doesn't use as much undo space as a DELETE.

Question 24: What command is used to create a table by copying the structure of another table?
