Description

While working on our move to unmanaged connections, I ran into issues in TestAccessController.testTruncatePerms; the acl permissions were not being restored when the table was restored. Digging, I ended up in the truncate 'handler'. Its a subclass of the delete table handler. For the create table part of trunctate, it does not call create table handler. Instead it copy/pastes what is going on over there only the copy/paste has rotted and needs recalibrating so acl perms get restored at least; better would be removing the copy/paste and using the create table handler. Or, we could just drop the truncate feature as just not appropriate to a store like this.
