truncate table syntax

The syntax of truncate table is:

truncate table [[database.]owner.]table_name 

For example, to remove all the data in sales, type:

truncate table sales 

Permission to use truncate table, like drop table, defaults to the table owner and cannot be transferred.

A truncate table command is not caught by a delete trigger. See Chapter 17, “Triggers: Enforcing Referential Integrity.”
