In this article, we will discuss key differences between Relational and NoSQL databases.
An SQL, or relational database, is excellent for data processing—creating granular connections between pieces of data. A NoSQL database is great for finding one piece of data quickly and operating on it. There’s little to no searching; it just gives you the user data.
Key differences between Relational and NoSQL databases are:
| Delete | Truncate |
|---|---|
| Delete is DML command | Truncate is DDL command |
| With this can delete all or specific rows | This is used to delete all rows |
| Deletes row by row | This deletes all rows without reading data |
| This is used by developers | This is used by database administrator |
| Triggers can be created on Delete | Triggers cant be created on Truncate |
| In delete, we can use where clause | In truncate, can’t use where clause |
| Delete slow process compared to Truncate | Truncate is faster than Delete |
