Re: pl/sql - help!!

CREATE TABLE statements and likes belong to DDL statements. You cannot use a DDL statement in your PL/SQL procedures and functions directly. If you are using PL/SQL version 2.0 or higher, you can use DBMS_SQL package to do this. And it is the same for the dynamic SQL statements. Good luck.
