Executing a ``DELETE`` statement without a ``WHERE`` clause will delete all rows in a table.

If that is truly what is intended, the ``TRUNCATE`` statement should be used because it is faster and uses fewer system and transaction log resources. Moreover when using the ``TRUNCATE`` statement, there is no ambiguity about the purpose of the SQL statement.

If removing all content from the table is not what is intended, a ``WHERE`` clause should be added.
