[TYPO3-core] RFC: Bug #13508: Use exec_TRUNCATETABLEquery() instead of DELETE FROM throughout the core

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

> must not care what they use: DELETE or TRUNCATE. They must have exactly
> *one* way to do their task, not many ways. The system should decide on
> the implementation of DELETE, not the developer.

OK, I agree.

Christian? Do you agree too? Can you change this patch to use Dmitry's 
suggestion?

I'll rework #13504 a bit anyway...
