I want to truncate a table using a procedure, is that possible? What about using dynamic SQL?

Use DBMS_SQL, example as following ...

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TRUNC_TABLE
(V_TABLE VARCHAR2)
IS
CURSORID NUMBER;
BEGIN
CURSORID := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(CURSORID, 'TRUNCATE TABLE '||
V_TABLE, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(CURSORID);
END;

Hope the above helps.

If you are using Oracle 8i you can try following in your procedure.

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE table_name';
