We've been through this before, I believe.. The concern is that it chews up another bit in the acl structure, leaving not a huge number left. My suggested approach to fixing this was to split the "grantable" bits up from the regular usage bits. That's, unfortunately, a non-trivial amount of work, however. Perhaps just having a plan for how we would increase the number of available bits would be enough to go ahead and add this option though? I'd certainly like to see a truncate permission, I wrote a patch for it myself back in January of 2006. That thread starts here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-01/msg00028.php I think someone else submitted a patch for it last year too, actually. Thanks, Stephen
