How to use the truncate table statement in SQL?

The TRUNCATE TABLE statement in SQL is used to delete all rows in a table while keeping the table’s structure. This statement is faster than the DELETE statement because it does not record each deleted row.

Here is the basic syntax for using the TRUNCATE TABLE statement:

TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;

One of them, table_name is the name of the table from which all rows need to be deleted.

Please note that using the TRUNCATE TABLE statement will irreversibly delete all rows in the table. Therefore, make sure to back up important data before executing this statement.
