Jack,
It used to be DELETE ANY TABLE. I'm not sure if that has changed in recent
versions. Long ago, I setup the following procedure to allow a specific table to be
truncated, without out the DELETE ANY TABLE privilege. It must be owned by the owner
of the table. I haven't dealt with this issue in years, so if things have changed
since Oracle 7, somebody else can chime in.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TRUNC_TAB
(TAB_IN IN USER_TABLES.TABLE_NAME%TYPE)
-- Author : Tony Ziemba Sheck Cho 4/18/95
-- Modified :
-- 10/14/97 JMH
-- 08/06/99 JMH Allow only certain tables to be truncated.
-- 08/08/99 JMH Added more tables.
-- Description:
-- This procedure was developed to truncate a table using the table name that is
-- passed in as an input parameter. This procedure illustrates the use of the
-- dbms_sql package to execute SQL DDL statements within PL/SQL. As of v7.1
-- TRUNCATE cannot be executed on a table unless the user owns the table or
-- the user has DELETE ANY TABLE privelege. This procedure is a workaround to
-- those limitations.
--
AS
cursor_id integer; -- holds cursor id
return_value integer; -- holds call return value
str varchar2(150); -- string to hold DDL statement
e_wrongtable exception; -- exception when truncate is done on other tables.
BEGIN
IF tab_in in ('TS_SECURITY_ACCESS','GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS') THEN
str := 'truncate table '||tab_in;
cursor_id := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse ( cursor_id,str,dbms_sql.native);
-- DDL statements are executed immediately. This may change
-- in future releases, in which case the following statement will
-- be needed.
-- return_value := dbms_sql.execute(cursor_id);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(cursor_id);
ELSE
RAISE e_wrongtable;
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN e_wrongtable THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,'Procedure restricts tables that can be
truncated.');
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_sql.close_cursor(cursor_id);
END;

Hi
I need to create a user/role that among other stuff must be able to
truncate a table. I can't figure out which privileges are needed (DBA is a
bit OTT :-))
Try them one by one does not sound appealing at all
TIA
Jack
