I'm suggesting OP might find changing truncate statements to deletes

Well, OP isn't looking for a solution to "delete all rows"
but rather to _prevent_ deletion.
Tim can't go forth and tell Blackhats to "please use DELETE
rather than TRUNCATE", right ?
AFAICT it'd be more useful to advise OP to revoke TRUNCATE
rights on tables.

Not sure about Tim and the Blackhats (there's a band name in there
somewhere) but Wouldn't OP have exact same code to fix, one way or another?
I think the point was, the OP(Tim) might not have access to the code that is trying to TRUNCATE. This could be because it is coming from authorized users who are writing their own code or unauthorized users(Blackhats) who are trying to sneak code in.
Fair enough but both blackhats and the authorized are just as likely to drop the database as truncate something (intentionally or not) and backups stashed everywhere is the first order of business.
