>Notes</H2
><P
> You must have the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>TRUNCATE</TT
> privilege on a table
to truncate it.
</P
><P
> <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>TRUNCATE</TT
> acquires an <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ACCESS EXCLUSIVE</TT
> lock on each
table it operates on, which blocks all other concurrent operations
on the table. When <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>RESTART IDENTITY</TT
> is specified, any
sequences that are to be restarted are likewise locked exclusively.
If concurrent access to a table is required, then
the <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>DELETE</TT
> command should be used instead.
</P
><P
> <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>TRUNCATE</TT
> cannot be used on a table that has foreign-key
references from other tables, unless all such tables are also truncated
in the same command. Checking validity in such cases would require table
scans, and the whole point is not to do one. The <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CASCADE</TT
>
option can be used to automatically include all dependent tables —
but be very careful when using this option, or else you might lose data you
did not intend to!
</P
><P
> <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>TRUNCATE</TT
> will not fire any <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ON DELETE</TT
>
triggers that might exist for the tables. But it will fire
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ON TRUNCATE</TT
> triggers.
If <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ON TRUNCATE</TT
> triggers are defined for any of
the tables, then all <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>BEFORE TRUNCATE</TT
> triggers are
fired before any truncation happens, and all <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>AFTER
TRUNCATE</TT
> triggers are fired after the last truncation is
performed and any sequences are reset.
The triggers will fire in the order that the tables are
to be processed (first those listed in the command, and then any
that were added due to cascading).
</P
><P
> <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>TRUNCATE</TT
> is not MVCC-safe. After truncation, the table will
appear empty to concurrent transactions, if they are using a snapshot
taken before the truncation occurred.
See <A
HREF="mvcc-caveats.html"
>Section 13.5</A
> for more details.
</P
><P
> <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>TRUNCATE</TT
> is transaction-safe with respect to the data
in the tables: the truncation will be safely rolled back if the surrounding
transaction does not commit.
</P
><P
> When <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>RESTART IDENTITY</TT
> is specified, the implied
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART</TT
> operations are also done
transactionally; that is, they will be rolled back if the surrounding
transaction does not commit. This is unlike the normal behavior of
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART</TT
>. Be aware that if any additional
sequence operations are done on the restarted sequences before the
transaction rolls back, the effects of these operations on the sequences
will be rolled back, but not their effects on <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>currval()</CODE
>;
that is, after the transaction <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>currval()</CODE
> will continue to
reflect the last sequence value obtained inside the failed transaction,
even though the sequence itself may no longer be consistent with that.
This is similar to the usual behavior of <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>currval()</CODE
> after
a failed transaction.

>Compatibility</H2
><P
> The SQL:2008 standard includes a <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>TRUNCATE</TT
> command
with the syntax <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>TRUNCATE TABLE
<TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>tablename</I
></TT
></TT
>. The clauses
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CONTINUE IDENTITY</TT
>/<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>RESTART IDENTITY</TT
>
also appear in that standard, but have slightly different though related
meanings. Some of the concurrency behavior of this command is left
implementation-defined by the standard, so the above notes should be
considered and compared with other implementations if necessary.
