Ultimately, fix TRUNCATE to be transaction safe. This is non-trivial,
I know :-).

Regardless, the first option seems the less of the two evils.

Even though TRUNCATE was modeled after Oracle's TRUNCATE and Oracle's TRUNCATE commits the running tx, truncates the relation, and starts a new tx, regardless of whether or not TRUNCATE is the first statement of the tx?
