Following are difference between them:-
• DELETE TABLE syntax logs the deletes thus make the delete operation slow.
TRUNCATE table does not log any information but it logs information about
deallocation of data page of the table so TRUNCATE table is faster as compared to
delete table.
• DELETE table can have criteria while TRUNCATE cannot.
• TRUNCATE table does not invoke trigger.
