A truncate is DDL rather than the DML of a delete. Any select will put a high
level lock down on the table (to prevent the table being modified while it is
being used). If there were any outstanding transactions of any sort, including
a select in SQL*Plus, it will prevent a truncate as it needs an exclusive table
level lock.
