Truncate before dropping table>

The following are two segments from emails going around where I work. Is he making any sense or is he out in left field? Both are in reference to truncating a table before dropping it.

Do people know to truncate a table first before dropping a table?

I am not sure other people are truncating their tables first, but it may be a good idea in order to reset the HWM's. Received on Thu May 24 2007 - 20:04:29 CDT
