Actually, I really like this idea. Just tried it out (works, of course), and
it does provide better security. thanks for the tip!

If possible, I prefer to create the procedure in the table owners schema and
then grant execute to the user that needs to perform the truncate...  That
way you don't have to grant privileges like "DROP ANY TABLE"...

It should only be drop any table.

Lisa,

Just tried my steps on 816 and I needed one more system priv - drop any
table.

the stored procedure then worked fine.

nice catch!

Not so fast my friend...unless I am missing a step, this still does not
work.
USER: cogroster (user--not a role, but DOES have DBA privs, and does have
the system priv of *delete any table* specifically granted) -- also contains
the procedure
USER: user01 (schema to which I want to truncate a table, and the explicit
grants to update/delete/select are granted to cogroster)
**************************
command:  execute truncate_table('user01.TABLE_NAME');
begin truncate_table('user01.TABLE_NAME');
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
yaddah
yaddah

Not that I want to beat a dead horse, but I don't see what I am missing...

All,

that's because there are special security rules attached to stored
procedures and packages.

from sql*plus, you can do a truncate if you have the DBA priv.  The DBA priv
is a ROLE, and the ROLE gives you the {delete any table} system priv.

from a stored procedure/package, you may NOT perform a system priv (like
delete any table as Rachel explained) on a db table that is inherited thru a
ROLE.  you must have the delete any table system priv granted directly to
the user where the stored procedure/package exists.

So, to summarize,

grant delete and table directly to an Oracle account.
create the stored proc/pack in that users schema.
execute the proc/pack.

should work fine.

hope this helps.

Not true...If I open a sqlplus window and issue a truncate on the schema--no
problem. If I try and do it through a procedure like below--I get the
errors....

Not 100% sure but I think only the table owner can use "TRUNCATE"

You can try the following , not sure if it will work though......let me know
if it does... :-)

DECLARE
myCur          number;
mySQL          varchar2(2000);

BEGIN
mySQL := 'TRUNCATE TABLE (table_name)';
myCur := DBMS_SQL.open_cursor;
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(myCur, mySQL, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(myCur);
END;

Karthik
