By that argument, we should allow anyone with any write access to do
TRUNCATE. Or perhaps even DROP TABLE. I'm not impressed.
I don't see why anyone with delete privileges shouldn't be able to
truncate (after all, thats the same as deleting all records).
analyze has arguably fewer side effects, its a performance enhancement,
its neither altering the schema or changing the data.
