Use DELETE rather than TRUNCATE if you want to delete specific records.DELETE DFROM MyTable AS DWHERE MyDateColumn < 'yyyymmdd' -- the cutoff date Take a backup first  |

| If that's a large amount of rows, it may be necessary to do the delete in chunks, a few thousand rows at a time. If that's the case the delete takes a TOP clause. DELETE TOP (20000) FROM ...--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

| Truncate removes all rows from the table. There is no 'where' clause to it. Use Delete as suggested above to delete rows based on some condition. |
