Truncate Load Write property query

Does the truncate load write property in the DB2 enterprise stage works as a truncate with no logging or is it that it works as a delete and write to the transaction log?
And if so where and how does it pick the commit interval from?

It invokes the DB2 fast load utility with the 'truncate' option. I think this will answer the reamining questions as well.

First of all, DB2 does not have TRUNCATE. Either its a delete or its a load from /dev/null or import from /dev/null.

I was referring to the truncate write mode for the load write method in DB2 Enterprise stage.

Yes that's right. DsGuru2b was also right, DB2 doesn't have a truncate option like Oracle, however this option is there in the load utility and as far as I know, it drops the table and recreates it and goes ahead with the load.
