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.
