RE: Rollback after truncate?? + 2 more questions :-)

The truncate command is DDL (like create) and not DML (like delete). All DDL commit work as part of their processing. So if you did some work before issuing a truncate command and then tried to rollback after the truncate command, there would be nothing to rollback since everything had been committed.

I do not understand the question.

You have create it using the same syntax as you did for the truncate command, since you are issuing a DDL statement instead of a DML statement.
