Oracle has stated that even though DBMS_SQL.PARSE is currently sufficient for non DML statements, this behavior will change and you should use DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE in your code.

RE: what's wrong with this...DBMS_SQL
The DBMS_SQL is executed inside a package, so the owner of the package must be granted the ability to switch log files directly. More than likely, he only has this privilege through a role.
