Identifiers like table names can't have special characters unless
enclosed by double quotes. The space is being considered a special
character. Surely you don't want to make sure you have
select * from "Packing List"
everywhere!
You'd better replace the space by an underscore.
From your script it looks like you have been exposed to Mickeysoft
Sql.
Oracle != Sqlserver and you should better forget about everything you
learned, as you won't manage to turn Oracle in to sqlserver ever.
