RE: Speed up Truncate tables - rebuild index

I think that the reference to "build the indexes" referres to the moving of the table and not the truncating. I believe that the indexes become invalid after for move a table and have to be rebuild. Oracle looses the "link" to the tables location when it is moved. Like someone moving your car while you are at work. You have to be informed where it is.
