The Detailed Difference and discussion is as follows
 
DROP
DROP is used to delete a whole database or just a table.The DROP 
statement destroys the objects like an existing database, table, index, 
or view.A DROP statement in SQL removes a component from a relational database management system (RDBMS).
Syntax:
DROP object object_name Examples: DROP TABLE table_name; table_name: Name of the table to be deleted. DROP DATABASE database_name; database_name: Name of the database to be deleted.
TRUNCATE 
TRUNCATE statement is a Data Definition Language (DDL) operation that
 is used to mark the extents of a table for deallocation (empty for 
reuse). The result of this operation quickly removes all data from a 
table, typically bypassing a number of integrity enforcing mechanisms. 
It was officially introduced in the SQL:2008 standard.The TRUNCATE TABLE mytable statement is logically (though not physically) equivalent to the DELETE FROM mytable statement (without a WHERE clause).
Syntax:
TRUNCATE TABLE table_name; table_name: Name of the table to be truncated. DATABASE name - student_data
DROP vs TRUNCATE
- Truncate is normally ultra-fast and its ideal for deleting data from a temporary table.
- Truncate preserves the structure of the table for future use, unlike drop table where the table is deleted with its full structure.
- Table or Database deletion using DROP statement cannot be rolled back, so it must be used wisely.
Queries
- To delete the whole database
DROP DATABASE student_data; After running the above query whole database will be deleted.
- To truncate Student_details table from student_data database.
TRUNCATE TABLE Student_details; After running the above query Student_details table will be truncated, i.e, the data will be deleted but the structure will remain in the memory for further operations.
