Delete vs truncate

790157Sep 9 2010 — edited Sep 10 2010
Hi,
We are using Oracle and we have a daily job of loading data to a table.
The existing data needs to be cleaned and fresh insert need to be done. Should I use Delete or truncate to clean the data.
If any error occurs i need to have old data ie previous load in my table.
so which option should i use? Delete or truncate


Thanks
Harshini
