Dear DBA Gurus,

I am able to execute the below code as an anonymous Pl/Sql block but when I incorporate it in a stored procedure the procedure gets created but I am getting the below errors while executing the procedure as system user:

Anonymous Pl/Sql block

Declare
name varchar2(4):='test';
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create user ' ||name||' '||'identified by '||name||'
'||

   'default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp';

   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'grant connect, resource to ' ||name;
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create table '||name||'.aaa(a number)';
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create table '||name||'.bbb(b number)';

END; Stored Procedure

create or replace procedure create_user (name IN VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create user ' ||name||' '||'identified by '||name||'
'||

   'default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp';

   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'grant connect, resource to ' ||name;
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create table '||name||'.aaa(a number)';
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create table '||name||'.bbb(b number)';

END;
/

Procedure Created.

Errors while executing the procedure

exec create_user('test');

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYSTEM.CREATE_USER", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1

What might be the reason for the errors? Can anyone help me?

TIA and Regards,

Ranganath
