Re: TRUNCATE on foreign table

IIUC, "truncatable" would be set to "false" for relations which do not
have physical storage e.g. views but will be true for regular tables.
When we are importing schema we need to set "truncatable"
appropriately. Is that something we will support with this patch?

Why would one want to truncate a foreign table instead of truncating
actual table wherever it is?
