Truncating a table

hi there,

Im working on a small plugin and want to buildin a function to truncate it’s table.

Currently im struggling with this code:

if($user_level >= 10) {
$deletequery = "TRUNCATE TABLE ".$table_prefix."winamp";
if(!$wpdb->query($deletequery)) {
die(mysql_error());
} else {
header('Location: options-general.php?page=wp_winamp/wp-winamp.php&cleared=true');
}
}


But somehow this always results in a error.
I did not manage to get mysql_error() to output something i guess it gets somewhere outputted before i call it and therefor cannot see it.

When i add echo 'error'; above the line where die() is in. I get error. So something is wrong.

When i replace the wordpress query function for mysql_query() it does work with no trouble.

I wordpress limited in its use of Truncate? I always thought i could feed it any query i like.

Many thanks!
