Some other process else likely has a conflicting lock; some row is 
likely actively accessed elsewhere.  You can wait, or you can cancel 
the conflicting activity.

Given that TRUNCATE TABLE is usually a DROP TABLE followed by a CREATE 
TABLE, see DROP TABLE 
<http://starlet.deltatel.ru/rdb$doc/oraclerdb/sqlrm7/sql_pro_131.html> 
for some details.

RMU has a way to view lock activity.
