Peter,

That won't work either.

DROP and CREATE commands can only be executed in a
procedure via dynamic SQL.

Such as the older DBMS_SQL package, or the newer and
much easier to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.

Why in toad when I try to create a stored proc where I drop and create a
table I get the following error:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "DROP" when expecting one of the
following:
   begin function package pragma procedure subtype type use
  <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> cur


Here is my code:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Primus_Report
AS
Drop Table PRIMUS_TEMP_DUMP;
CREATE TABLE PRIMUS_TEMP_DUMP (
  SOLUTION_ID              VARCHAR2 (85)  NOT NULL,
