8. A programmer wants to code a procedure which will create a table
with a single column. The datatype of the column will be chosen by
the user who invokes the procedure. The programmer writes the
following code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_tab
(p_col_datatype IN VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE newtab (only_col p_col_datatype);
END;
Why will this procedure not compile successfully?
Mark for Review
(1) Points


Because you cannot create a table inside a procedure




Because the invoking user may not have CREATE TABLE privilege




Because when the procedure is compiled, Oracle cannot check if
the parameter value passed into the procedure is a valid column
datatype (*)



Because table NEWTAB may already exist




None of the above; the procedure will compile successfully

9. Which of the following best describes a package initialization block?
Mark for Review
(1) Points


It is a named procedure in a package which must be invoked by

It is an anonymous block in the package specification.




It is an anonymous block at the end of a package body which
executes automatically the first time each user session invokes a
subprogram in the package. (*)



It is a private function within the package body.




Because it is an anonymous block, it cannot be invoked and
therefore will never execute. It is treated as a set of comments.

17. Which of the following are good reasons to group a set of procedures and
functions into a package?
Mark for Review
(1) Points


Application developers do not need to know the details of the package
body code.



Related subprograms and variables can be grouped together for easier
management and maintenance.



If the detailed code is changed, aplications which invoke the package do
not need to be recompiled.
