Restrictions on Truncating Tables

This statement is subject to the following restrictions:


• You cannot roll back a TRUNCATE TABLE statement.
• You cannot flash back to the state of the table before the truncate operation.
• You cannot individually truncate a table that is part of a cluster. You must
either truncate
the cluster, delete all rows from the table, or drop and re-create the table.
• You cannot truncate the parent table of an enabled foreign key constraint. You
must
disable the constraint before truncating the table. An exception is that you can
truncate the
table if the integrity constraint is self-referential.
• If a domain index is defined on table, then neither the index nor any index
partitions can
be marked IN_PROGRESS.
• You cannot truncate the parent table of a reference-partitioned table. You must
first drop
the reference-partitioned child table.
• You cannot truncate a duplicated table.
MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG Clause
The MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG clause lets you specify whether a materialized
view log defined on
the table is to be preserved or purged when the table is truncated. This clause
permits
materialized view master tables to be reorganized through export or import
without affecting
the ability of primary key materialized views defined on the master to be fast
refreshed. To
support continued fast refresh of primary key materialized views, the
materialized view log
must record primary key information.
Note:
The keyword SNAPSHOT is supported in place of MATERIALIZED VIEW for
backward
compatibility.
PRESERVE
Specify PRESERVE if any materialized view log should be preserved when the
master table is
truncated. This is the default.
