Can one use dynamic SQL within PL/SQL? OR Can you use a DDL in a procedure ? How ?

From PL/SQL V2.1 one can use the DBMS_SQL package to execute dynamic SQL statements.

Eg: CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE DYNSQL

AS

cur integer;

rc integer;

BEGIN

cur := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;

DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cur,’CREATE TABLE X (Y DATE)’, DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);

rc := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cur);

DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cur);

END;
