| Hi all SQL wiz. I have a question in granting truncate permission. Since truncate command can only be used by system administrator, can u grant it to a specific user and he can only truncate a specific table? Tnx in advance |

| you don't need sysadmin for Truncate table permission. You need to give him "ALter table" permission. |

| Hi Sodeep... tnx for the reply... but i don't want to modify the table... i would like to grant a truncate permission since it is much faster than using the delete command. My concern is that truncate command is used by SysAdmin and I only want to grant truncate permission on a specific table only. |

| That's why I said:Go to that specific table-properties-permission - give alter table permission. Since Truncate is DDL command ,you need to give ALter table. |
