I would guess because it's not part of PL/SQL.

The DBMS_SQL package and 'EXECUTE IMMEDIATE' both send your SQL to the database engine.

You may recall the the engine running PL/SQL is separate from the DBMS engine, at least through 8i.

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.
