Thread: Delete rules
<div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<p class="MsoNormal">We’d like to give our applications truncate capability,but that would also give them drop table permission, which we don’t want them to have.<p class="MsoNormal">So,we created a truncate function that uses the definers security context.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Theissue is that we now have 1000’s of programs to change to use the function. A task the developers don’twant to do. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">So, we’re investigating using a DELETE rule. I’d like to beable to rewrite an unqualified delete into a the call to the truncate function otherwise, leave it alone.<p class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">But I don’t know how to access the entire sql statement for interrogation. <p class="MsoNormal">Isthere a way I can see what the statement is that’s executing and triggering the rule?<p class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">Thanks<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">DougLittle</span></b><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> </span></b><pclass="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Sr.Data Warehouse Architect | Enterprise Data Management | OrbitzWorldwide </span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">500 W.

I've found complex and simple rules pretty hard to get correct. They sometimes do unexpected things.
It looks like the CREATE Trigger FOR EACH STATEMENT is better suited to do what you want:
"In addition, triggers may be defined to fire for a TRUNCATE, though only FOR EACH STATEMENT."

But I don’t know how to access the entire sql statement for interrogation. Is there a way I can see what the statement is that’s executing and triggering the rule?
