Delete command removes the rows from a table based on the condition that we provide with a WHERE clause. Truncate will actually remove all the rows from a table and there will be no data in the table after we run the truncate command.

TRUNCATE:

- TRUNCATE is faster and uses fewer system and transaction log resources than DELETE.

- TRUNCATE removes the data by deallocating the data pages used to store the table's data, and only the page deallocations are recorded in the transaction log.

- TRUNCATE removes all rows from a table, but the table structure, its columns, constraints, indexes and so on, remains. The counter used by an identity for new rows is reset to the seed for the column.

- You cannot use TRUNCATE TABLE on a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. Because TRUNCATE TABLE is not logged, it cannot activate a trigger.

- TRUNCATE cannot be rolled back.

- TRUNCATE is DDL Command.

- TRUNCATE Resets identity of the table

DELETE:

- DELETE removes rows one at a time and records an entry in the transaction log for each deleted row.

- If you want to retain the identity counter, use DELETE instead. If you want to remove table definition and its data, use the DROP TABLE statement.

- DELETE Can be used with or without a WHERE clause

- DELETE Activates Triggers.

- DELETE can be rolled back.

- DELETE is DML Command.

- DELETE does not reset identity of the table.

Note: DELETE and TRUNCATE both can be rolled back when surrounded by TRANSACTION if the current session is not closed. If TRUNCATE is written in Query Editor surrounded by TRANSACTION and if session is closed, it can not be rolled back but DELETE can be rolled back.

The following are steps to be followed prior to actual application development in an Android-powered device:

- Declare your application as “debuggable” in your Android Manifest.

- Turn on “USB Debugging” on your device.

- Set up your system to detect your device.

RequiredFieldValidator is used to validate the controls if they contain data

Requirements tracing, a process of documenting the links between the requirements and the work products developed to implement and verify those requirements. Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a document which records the mapping between the high-level requirements and the test cases in the form of a table. The RTM captures all requirements and their traceability in a single document delivered at the conclusion of the life cycle. 

That’s how it ensures that the Test Plan covers all the requirements and links to their latest version.

A junction record is a member record type that allows for many-to-many relationship between its two owner records.
