ok so while creating a table with:
column NUMBER(38) REFERENCES db.table(column)
I am getting the error:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

but I can select from the referenced db.table ???

any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

why you are converting hd parameter to date inside function,its already date.

sql_statement :=' SELECT * from emp where hiredate < '||''''||hd||'''';

As far as I know, u cannot specify db name the way u r doing in ur references clause. It ought to be like .. REFERENCES schema.table(column).
Replace db with schema and try.
