I respectfully disagree, you can recover from a truncate. Restore a backup, recover to immediately before the truncate. You cannot rollback a truncate.

The database will have to be recreated because there is not a backup. If the tables had been deleted, then committed, the effect would be the same.

you have to recreate, there is no way to recover from the truncate, nothing is written to the rollbacks when do you that.

Unless, of course, you want to spend umpty-ump dollars on Oracle's Data Unloader. But if it's a new database, it's probably simpler to recreate.
