What is difference between DELETE and TRUNCATE commands?

Delete command removes the rows from a table based on the condition that we provide with a WHERE clause. Truncate will actually remove all the rows from a table and there will be no data in the table after we run the truncate command. TRUNCATE : TRUNCATE is faster and uses fewer system and transaction log resources than DELETE. TRUNCATE removes the data by deallocating the data pages used to store the table's data, and only the page deallocations are recorded in the transaction log. TRUNCATE removes all rows from a table, but the table structure, its columns, constraints, indexes and so on, remains. The counter used by an identity for new rows is reset to the seed for the column. You cannot use TRUNCATE TABLE on a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. Because TRUNCATE TABLE is not logged, it cannot activate a trigger. TRUNCATE cannot be rolled back. TRUNCATE is DDL Command. TRUNCATE Resets identity of the table DELETE : DELETE removes rows one at a time...

@@trancount

@@trancount is a global variable which reflects the level of nested transactions. Each BEGIN TRANSACTION increases @@trancount by 1, and each COMMIT TRANSACTION decreases @@trancount by 1. Nothing is actually committed until @@trancount reaches 0. ROLLBACK TRANSACTION rolls back everything to the outermost BEGIN TRANSACTION (unless you have used the fairly exotic SAVE TRANSACTION ), and forces @@trancount to 0, regards of the previous value. When you exit a stored procedure, if @@trancount does not have the same value as it had when the procedure commenced execution, SQL Server raises error 266. This error is not raised, though, if the procedure is called from a trigger, directly or indirectly. Neither is it raised if you are running with SET IMPLICIT TRANSACTIONS ON .
