Is TRUNCATE DML command?
Wikipedia says TRUNCATE is DML: In SQL, the TRUNCATE TABLE statement is a Data Manipulation Language (DML) operation that marks the extents of a table for deallocation (empty for reuse). The result of this operation quickly removes all data from a table, typically bypassing a number of integrity enforcing mechanisms.

Q. Why TRUNCATE is DML?
Truncate reinitializes the identity by making changes in data definition therefore it is DDL, whereas Delete only delete the records from the table and doesn’t make any changes in its Definition that’s why it is DML.
Q. Is select a DML statement?
The SELECT statement is a limited form of DML statement in that it can only access data in the database. It cannot manipulate data in the database, although it can operate on the accessed data before returning the results of the query.
Q. What is TRUNCATE statement?
In SQL, the TRUNCATE TABLE statement is a Data Definition Language (DDL) operation that marks the extents of a table for deallocation (empty for reuse). TRUNCATE TABLE removes all rows from a table, but the table structure and its columns, constraints, indexes, and so on remain.
Q. What are the DML statements?
Data manipulation language (DML) statements add, change, and delete Oracle Database table data. A transaction is a sequence of one or more SQL statements that Oracle Database treats as a unit: either all of the statements are performed, or none of them are.
Q. Why TRUNCATE is DDL statement?
Although TRUNCATE TABLE is similar to DELETE , it is classified as a DDL statement rather than a DML statement. Truncate operations drop and re-create the table, which is much faster than deleting rows one by one, particularly for large tables. Truncate operations cause an implicit commit, and so cannot be rolled back.
Q. Is the truncate command a DDL or DML command?
TRUNCATE TABLE is a DDL command and you need ALTER permissions for it, not just write permission like for a DELETE (=DML) command. It’s identically to drop & re-create a table in just one command. TRUNCATE is a DDL command.
Q. What’s the difference between truncate and delete in SQL?
SQL SQLite Database. Delete and truncate both commands can be used to delete data of the table. Delete is a DML command whereas truncate is DDL command. Truncate can be used to delete the entire data of the table without maintaining the integrity of the table. On the other hand , delete statement can be used for deleting the specific data.
Q. Why does truncate not run on delete triggers?
The fact that TRUNCATE doesn’t run ON DELETE triggers also sets it apart from normal DML operations (but some direct path DML operations also skip triggers, so that’s not a clear indicator). That same documentation notes that DELETE generates UNDO, but TRUNCATE doesn’t, so your statement is correct in this respects.
Q. Is the delete DDL statement an ordinary DML statement?
So it’s not ordinary DML – Oracle classifies it as DDL. delete is an ordinary DML statement. When you create a table, you can specify things like what tablespace it goes in, initial size, next extent size, etc. Those are storage attributes. Yes, they’re part of a table’s (or index, or partition) metadata. – Mat Mar 13 ’13 at 19:25
