Re: calling sql script from pl/sql

I can not conceive of anything you could do in Oracle that would have improved performance due to creating tables on the fly. I've no doubt something is out there but I've never seen it.

Creating tables on the fly is a technique generally learned while using SQL Server or Sybase; products that bump into resource limits that just don't exist in Oracle.

What is accomplished in those environments with "tables on the fly" is accomplished in Oracle with in-line views, PL/SQL tables, arrays, or global temporary tables: None of which are not tables created on the fly.
