SQL Truncate, Delete, Drop advise

Question

I have a table in a SQL db that I want to remove the data from? I want to keep the columns though.

e.g. my table has 3 columns, Name, Age, Date. I don\'t want to rem

Answer 1

We can rollback the data in conditions of Delete, Truncate & Drop. But must be used Begin Transaction before executing query Delete, Drop & Truncate.

Here is example :

Create Database Ankit

Create Table Tbl_Ankit(Name varchar(11))

insert into tbl_ankit(name) values('ankit');
insert into tbl_ankit(name) values('ankur');
insert into tbl_ankit(name) values('arti');

Select * From Tbl_Ankit

/*======================For Delete==================*/
Begin Transaction
Delete From Tbl_Ankit where Name='ankit'

Rollback
Select * From Tbl_Ankit

/*======================For Truncate==================*/
Begin Transaction
Truncate Table Tbl_Ankit 

Rollback
Select * From Tbl_Ankit

/*======================For Drop==================*/
Begin Transaction
Drop Table Tbl_Ankit 

Rollback
Select * From Tbl_Ankit
