    Mark,

    you are right. But OP mentioned like

    Query to delete, all the records from a table

    Thats why i preferred TRUNCATE.

    But that's only a part of what the OP wants. You cut off the other very important part that makes TRUNCATE the wrong choice in this case...

    Query to delete, all the records from a table [font="Arial Black"]before half an hour[/font],…

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
