never mind, I put "/" at the end of the create statement that makes executing create table twice....Yep. If I'm writing a script, I tend to just stick with "/" for all my statements, including the SQL as well as the DDL, otherwise it can be confusing whether a ";" is needed or not or whether it will try and execute it twice like you found.
"/" works for all.
