The UPDATE Statement

The document compares the DROP, TRUNCATE, and DELETE commands in SQL. DROP removes the table permanently and cannot be undone, while TRUNCATE empties the table faster than DELETE by deleting all rows at once without removing the table. TRUNCATE also resets the auto-increment value, unlike DELETE which deletes rows individually and maintains the existing auto-increment values.
