Re: stored procedure and table creation

If you create tables using dynamic sql it is quite obvious you also need to manipulate them using dynamic sql.

You don't have to use dynamic sql for all selects, you have to get some training. Databases are about design and structure, not about just rambling away and see what happens. And Oracle definitely is not a product that can be mastered without reading manuals.
