You can also use execute immediate in PL/SQL, depending on the version of Oracle you are running.

Maybe it is to maintain transaction consistency, bcos the DDLs issue a commit implicitly. So if u do in the middle of DML-transaction it might mess up the transaction as a whole.

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.
