[Gnumed-devel] objections to use of the postgres TRUNCATE command?

[Busser, James]

When taking a bootstrapped GNUmed database and wishing to clean out sample data 
in which the to-be-production site has no interest, TRUNCATE doubtless saves 
time. Provided that the tables have no foreign-key references from other 
tables, is there any reason (other than the inability to recover) NOT to use 
truncate in place of

        delete from

?
