    I don't see how this is more dangerous then:

          delete from base_table
          where partition_key in (...);

    which would serve the same purpose, albeit less efficient.


Delete has a rollback option, and you can dry-run to see impacted rows effectively. Truncate does not.

TRUNCATE can be rolled back as well.
