DELETE-
this command deletes the records which can be rolled back by using ROLLBACK commnad.
in the delete command user can specify certain conditions
delete is a DML

TRUNCATE--this comand deletes the records from the table as well as releases the spaces .
so th edata deleted by this command cant be rolled back.
truncate is a DDL command.
