Why is a truncate table command taking a long time?

Hi,

I am running Oracle11.2.0.1 on redhat linux.  I have a truncate table command as part of a batch

job stream.  The truncate table is taking 22 minutes to run.  There are 1.9 million rows in the table.

I tried using the "reuse storage" but it doesn't seem to matter.

This seems a lot like a bug and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
