最近需要清理一张大表，要求不能影响性能。在MySQL里边我们可以通过借助coreutils以及硬链接的方式来最小化I/O，Oracle也可以通过分批次回收空间来最小化I/O，到底如何，下面我们拭目以待。

一、TRUNCATE TABLE 语法

TRUNCATE TABLE [schema_name.]table_name

[ PRESERVE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG | PURGE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ]

[ DROP STORAGE | REUSE STORAGE ] ;

--下面仅列出reuse storage的说明部分

REUSE STORAGE

Specify REUSE STORAGE to retain the space from the deleted rows allocated to the table. Storage values are not reset to the values when the table was created. This space can subsequently be used only by new data in the table resulting from insert or update operations. This clause leaves storage parameters at their current settings.

This setting is useful as an alternative to deleting all rows of a very large table—when the number of rows is very large, the table entails many thousands of extents, and when data is to be reinserted in the future. TRUNCATE TABLE with REUSE STORAGE performs several orders of magnitude faster than deleting all rows, but has the following drawbacks:

•You cannot roll back a TRUNCATE TABLE statement.

•All cursors are invalidated.

•You cannot flash back to the state of the table before the truncate operation.

This clause is not valid for temporary tables. A session becomes unbound from the temporary table when the table is truncated, so the storage is automatically dropped.

If you have specified more than one free list for the object you are truncating, then the REUSE STORAGE clause also removes any mapping of free lists to instances and resets the high-water mark to the beginning of the first extent.

四、小结

a、通过上述测试，当使用reuse storage与普通方式并无明显差异

b、truncate table 是ddl操作，无法回滚

c、尽管无明显性能差异，生产环境大表情况，还是建议使用reuse storage结合deallocate方式
