Kevin,

From the top of my head, I don't think its possible to do a rollback. TRUNCATE TABLE is one comparable to ZAP in xBase, taking the fast and easy route to empty a table. It does not log the delete from the rows that are deleted, so I'd say no.

I bet you are going to tell use that in some version of SQL server, you are able to that, are you ?
