I need to write a sqlplus script to create a table in oracle database, first to check if it is there, if not then create the table.
This is use execute immediate dynamic query, if it is only table that will easier I just use single quote after execute immediate to wrap the sql statement. but now I have more stuff like constraints and an index.
So I don't know where I should put the end single quote.

Below is the script:
PROMPT Starting Create_SCH_RETENTIONS_Table.sql;
DECLARE cnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO cnt
FROM user_tables
WHERE upper(table_name) = 'SCH_RETENTIONS';
IF cnt = 0 THEN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE "DR"."SCH_RETENTIONS"
( "STUDENTID" NUMBER(10,0),
"STUDENT_NUMBER" FLOAT(126),
"RECOMMEND_SCHOOL_YEAR" NUMBER(4,0),
"RECOMMEND_SCHOOL" NUMBER(10,0),
"RECOMMEND_NAME" VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
"NEXT_YEAR_GRADE" NUMBER(10,0),
"SPRING_GRADE" NUMBER(10,0),
"RETENTION_REASON" NUMBER(1,0),
"RETAIN_OR_PROMOTE" VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
"CREATE_USER" VARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
"CREATE_DATE" DATE,
"NOTES" VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE)

silly, foolish, ugly, & wasteful

just issue static SQL.
if the table already exist, error get thrown & can be ignored

This is the template for a script for all the customized table build script. I have to follow this to use dynamic script. We don't want to throw errors, this is built in an automatic deployed script with other table creation scripts.

The requirements are FLAWED & WRONG!
tables should be created once, using static SQL, & only during software version upgrades.
"dynamic tables" require only dynamic SQL; which does not scale.

Do you think that Oracle uses your proposed approach to deploy it's software?
I don't think so.

There is no legitimate reason to use double quotes within any SQL script.
double quotes should be avoided as 100% superfluous & potentially dangerous.
