Will I be the first to say that you need to use dynamic SQL?
dbms_sql package in Oracle version < 8.1

From: Smith, Ron L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]I am not a coder but I received this from one of our developers. I can't find anything about this anywhere. Can someone tell me how to make the truncate work?
Thanks!
R.Smith
In a DB procedure, I wanted to include the following SQL:
BEGIN
TRUNCATE TABLE LOT837_GLOBAL_TBL_KMG;
END;
Error messages:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "TABLE" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ;
The symbol ":= was inserted before "TABLE" to continue.
(It does not like it, if you take out TABLE, either.)
So, I had to settle for the following SQL:
BEGIN
DELETE LOT837_GLOBAL_TBL_KMG;
END;
Do you know why I can not use the TRUNCATE command?
