I tried this same thing (procedure below) and received the error messages below when I was trying to truncate a schema.tablename, which was not the schema I was logged in as. What is interesting is that the schema to which I was logged into, does have select, insert, delete and update privs on the table I was trying to truncate. I actually meant to post this question myself, so I am glad I am not alone. Any ideas?

You can try the following , not sure if it will work though......let me know if it does... :-)

DECLARE

myCur           number;
mySQL           varchar2(2000);

BEGIN
mySQL := 'TRUNCATE TABLE (table_name)';
myCur := DBMS_SQL.open_cursor;
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(myCur, mySQL, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE); DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(myCur);
END; Regards,
Karthik
