Re: how to exec "truncate table " in procedures

Here we go again:

Truncate is a so called DDL statement . These type of statements alter the data dictionary (table layouts etc).
You cannot use DDL statements in PL/SQL.

So you cannot use truncate, alter table/view, drop .., create ... in a pl/sql block.

Sorry.

But never a problem without a solution: with the package DBSM_SQL, you can do DDL statements in the database. But ask yourself why these statements don't belong in packages etc.
