Don't even get me started on the incredibly interesting answers I've gotten for "Describe two differences between Truncate and Delete".BWAAA-HAAA!!!! Such easy questions! 😉 Everyone knows they're spelled differently and have a different number of letters! :hehe:
That one I have to pass on to my boss!

They are?
Truncate = D R O P T A B L E
Delete = D R O P T A B L E
I don't see the diff.

I think you have it backwards
Drop table -> delete
drop table -> truncate
drop table -> DBA phone rings
Yep, they are different.

Why monkey around? Drop Database saves so many steps.

Having been there I would say there is no such thing as a silly question. While I try not to give the full answer if i feel the person hasn't put enough effort I do try to make sure they are pointed in the right direction.
Frankly I believe in SQL as a technology and would be glad to help anybody who wants it.
Beside a few basic questions are worth it when u come across a Gem every once in a while.
Case in point
I recently learned that we could host database files on a Raw partition , I always assumed they would have be part of a file system , btw i have a newbie to thank for that.

I agree. There is no such thing as a silly question. There are only silly people asking me questions.

Ah! Thank you, I didn't know this one.
There seems to be some limitation, though.
BTW, this THREAD stopped being related to the original question maaaany posts ago. Now it's a sort of watercooler thread. Welcome aboard!
At times, when I find incredibly messy questions, I am highly tempted to post an abrupt "Yes, they are". I managed to resist up to now. 🙂
