Here's a little brain teaser. This could be a "who's buried in Grant's tomb" question....or it might be a trick question.

Here we go. In SQL Server, suppose you're in a SQL transaction. During the transaction, you truncate a table by issuing the TRUNCATE TABLE statement. Let's say the table had 100 rows before the TRUNCATE.

Here's the question - can you issue a ROLLBACK statement and bring back the 100 rows?


Obviously, you could cheat and try it out in SQL Server, so I'm asking for honesty.

There's a story behind this question.....
