> Currently if you create an external table using the command {{CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE table_name}} the {{TRUNCATE table table_name}} command fails as expected because only managed tables should be allowed to be truncated.
> But if you set the external property of a previously managed table using {{ALTER TABLE table_name SET TBLPROPERTIES('EXTERNAL'='true')}}, truncate table command does not object and deletes all the data from the external table.
> Eg: This works but it should not ..
