CREATE TABLE in procedure?

Hi,

Can I put the "create table temp1 as select .... from .... where ....." = into
a stored procedure/function on the server??

I got the error when I was trying to do this:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE" when expecting one of the following:

   begin declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null    pragma raise return select update while <an identifier

Is it possible to put 'CREATE table....' in a procedure?

Any idea/help will be greatly appreciated!!
