I'm about to split a big table of mine using partitions.  I've done  
some testing on a test database, and the part of actually moving the  
data from the current table to each partition will take about 5 days,  
broken up into small bits of work as transactions.

Once the data is moved, I am left with a HUGE table which is otherwise  
empty.  A test run of "vacuum full" on the table takes nearly 2  
hours.  I can't really afford that on the production system, obviously.

So my question is, how to use TRUNCATE on that table?  Since it is  
already empty, does it matter to slony if I just issue TRUNCATE on  
each of the nodes?  Or do I need to go through the execute script  
slonik command?  Also, is TRUNCATE in this manner safe at all for slony?

Thanks!
