How do I similate SQL Server 2005s "EXECUTE AS" clause in SQL Server 2000

    I have some stored procedures that have TRUNCATE TABLE XXXX before it INSERTS new data into the table. For instance a table to populate a combobox. I want the user to be able to see the items in the combobox based on selecting other criteria, but I don't want standard users to have db_owner or db_ddladmin fixed database roles. I also prefer not to use DELETE because it doesn't need to be logged, etc. Is there a way to let the standard user run this sp that has a TRUNCATE TABLE statement like you can in SQL Server 2005 by using the new EXECUTE AS clause.

    why not just grant permission just to the specific procedure, instead of a role that has too many rights?

    grant execute on pr_truncate_table to webdev

    Lowell, I don't think you can grant permission to TRUNCATE TABLE if we're talking SQL 2000 with SP3 or higher, due to security changes.

    Thanks guys. I just finally gave up and used the DELETE statement.
