the above does not work.

How can I TRUNCATE all tables without having to explicitly specify
each one? Thanks.

I don't think this is possible.

You can do it programmatically using the answer to SHOW TABLES of course.

or you can type all of the truncate statements in a text file and then just run
the file from the server prompt.

for example:
truncate tableA;
truncate tableB;
truncate tableC;

all saved in a file called truncateDB.sql so then you login to your server and
once on mysql prompt, just run this file. if you add any more table, just add a
truncate line to this file for that table.
