And yes, I am using a pymssql extension module.
A couple of things, neither of which really answers your question. I wouldn't expect to get a cur.rowcount back from a TRUNCATE operation. And you don't need the semicolon at the end of the line. However, neither of those should prevent the truncation from occurring. Do you get an error? Or does the table still have rows in when you look? You can't, for example, truncate a table with active foreign keys. Does this same command work in Query Analyzer?
