Ron,

Truncate is a DDL command therefore they'll need to do it within dynamic sql, probably using the DBMS_SQL package. Under 8i your suppose to be able to use "execute immediate", but I haven't tried it yet.

I have a developer that is trying to truncate a table from within a procedure. If he does a delete it works ok. If he tries to issue the truncate command he gets errors. He is running the procedure as the schema owner. Is there a problem with issuing a truncate command from within a procedure?
