### Description
|
|
|
|
The `TRUNCATE TABLE` statement removes all the rows from a table or partition(s). The table must not be a view
|
|
|
|
or an external/temporary table. In order to truncate multiple partitions at once, the user can specify the partitions
|
|
|
|
in `partition_spec`. If no `partition_spec` is specified it will remove all partitions in the table.
