That ersion of truncate will not work because one cannot execute
DDL commands (what "TRUNCATE" is) from PL/SQL.
Here is a code snippet that you can try which has the "TRUNCATE" in it:

declare
cursor csr is select 'truncate table '||table_name trunc from user_tables;
begin
for c in csr 
loop
execute immediate c.trunc;
end loop;
end;
/


This code snippet will truncate all of the tables owned by the user who
executes it
and it will work on 8i only ("EXECUTE IMMEDIATE")

If you don't want to do a truncate,

delete from my_table;
insert into my_table values(1,2,3);
commit;

Actually, TRUNCATE is DDL so you can't just issue it in PL/SQL.  You'd need
to use dbms_sql to issue the truncate.

If you are asking about a code,

Probably
Begin
   TRUNCATE ...
   INSERT INTO ....
   COMMIT
END
In practical this is used for temporary tables I don't know if there is any
other use.

HTH!

Subject:        Example of pl/sql

Anyone who  has a good  example on a procedure that first deletes all the
records in a table and then
does an insert?
