It's better to use delete.

Can you explain why? I'd go for instant truncate rather than waiting around for delete to finish.

The drawback of truncate is it requires a table lock and if people are updating the table, the truncate will have to wait for the locks to complete.

So will a delete from table when it's myisam.

There is also RI to worry about.

Good point.
