Using hibernate/hql to truncate a table?

What is the recommended way to truncate a table using hibernate/hql?

I\'ve tried this:

 Query query = session.createQuery(\"truncate table MyTable\");
 qu

I guess an horrible way of doing it would be deleting all.

public int hqlTruncate(String myTable){
    String hql = String.format("delete from %s",myTable);
    Query query = session.createQuery(hql);
    return query.executeUpdate();
}
