Ron, what errors does he get?

PS. Here's a procedure for truncating

---

• jkstill 10/28/97
• added 'towner' to specify object owner
• this allows other users the ability to execute
• the 'truncate' if so desired
• eg.
• create or replace procedure ced_detail_truncate
• as
• begin
• ced.trunc_tab('CED_DETAIL','CED');
• end;
• grant execute on ced_detail_truncate to ced_dev

create or replace procedure trunc_tab

   (tname varchar2, towner user_constraints.r_owner%TYPE default user,reuz boolean default false) as

| Name:          Trunc_tab
| Description:   Given a table name will truncate the table.  The table is
|                assumed to be in the users schema.  As a possible
|                enhancement add a table which has user table mapping,
|                and check the table before any processing if the current user
|                has rights to truncate the said (tname) table.
| Parameters:    tname  ---  Varchar2, In ; table to be truncated
|                towner ---  varchar2, In ; owner of table - default to USER function
|                reuz   ---  Boolean,  In ; Option to reause space
