Truncate or Delete?? which will be the better option for Temporary tables (Create temporary table)??
As in normal table truncate resets the high water mark
and corresponding indexes also gets truncated but Temporary tables are in buffer only they does not have any Physical space so in such case Delete is as good as Truncate??

Please throw some light on it.

Hi,
What is your intention for these temp tables. If you do not need them again then certainly delete them but if you think you might in the future and the columns are not going to change then issue a truncate statement.

cheers

Alan
