Do I need to Reindex after truncate table?

Hi All,
A quick question: Do I have to Reindex a table (using "DBCC DBREINDEX"
statement) AFTER I truncate a table? In SQL 2005 BOL it seems after
truncate table although the index(es) is still there but the data page
is 0.
Thank you for your help.
BobAfter truncating a table there is nothing to reindex. The index definitions
are still there and will apply to the new records.
Hope this helps,

0" you can use sp_spaceused 'your_table' to verify that everything is 0
(rows, data, index, etc).
