RE: How many ways you can delete the table records ?
 
If you want to delete only few rows from Table then use

Delete Table <Tablename>
where <condiition>


It will just delete the data but not unhold the space.



If you want to remove whole data then
Truncate table <Tablename>

will remove all rows and unhold the space.

Delete Table <Tablename> will also do that but it won't unhold the space.
