| If you want a non logged delete, use TRUNCATE TABLE, if you want it logged, use DELETE FROM |

| Truncate is only possible if your table doesn't have any foreign key references. Script out all the foreign keys, then drop them and then run the results of this query in your database:SELECT 'TRUNCATE TABLE [' + table_name + ']' FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'- LumbagoMy blog (yes, I have a blog now! just not that much content yet) -> www.thefirstsql.com |

Truncate is a logged operation. There are no unlogged data changes in SQL Server. Truncate logs page deallocations rather than row deletions, that's why it has less of a log impact, but it is still a logged operation.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
