RE: TRUNCATE IN PL/SQL

Oh boy, not this again.
I left the last list because people complained I posted too much, and didn't like my view on things. Yet they never complained when I helped everyone with many many problems. I answered 20% of the posts on the list, and I always got flak for them.

You cannot execute DDL in PL/SQL (Never could) unless you use DBMS_SQL (Pre-8i) or Execute Immediate (8i)
