So if u do in the middle of DML-transaction it might mess up the transaction as a whole. -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 10:58 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi List, Why it is not allowed to write DDL(e.g. create table) in PL/SQL directly, but same can be done using DBMS_SQL package.
