Right, definitely agree about this.

Hmmm, I have to agree that this an interesting question. I don't tend
to use "GRANT ALL" so I'm not really sure what people are thinking when
they use it. It seems to me that it'd make sense to include TRUNCATE in
'GRANT ALL' (since it includes the abilities to create triggers and
references, etc, which I wouldn't generally consider to be "normal",
where "normal" would be select/insert/update/delete).
