Under TRUNCATE
To truncate a table or cluster, the table or cluster must be in your schema or you must have DROP ANY TABLE system privilege.  

Is this a documentation bug?

It's a DDL command. You need alter table for this. Delete any table in a DML privilege.

#3 One has to have 'delete any table' privilege to truncate someone else's

#2 Oracle does not write to the data file when the tablespace is in backup

mode.

And...

#1 High Cache Hit Ratios (in the upper 90s) are always good.
