How to create stored procedure to drop and create table

Question

Version: Oracle 10g
I am trying to create a stored procedure that will drop and create a table based on a select statement. I can create the table but I can't drop it.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure EC_LOAD is
begin
INSERT INTO Sales_table
(FSCL_WK,
DIV,
ACCT_TYPE)
Select
FSCL_WK,
DIV,
ACCT_TYPE
from
sales_revenue;
end ecload;
I need to drop Sales_table before inserting the values. How do i do this?

Answer 1

Or with a drop:
SQL> desc emp2
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object emp2 does not exist
SQL>
SQL> declare
  2    cnt      int := 0;
  3  begin
  4    select max (1)
  5      into cnt
  6      from user_tables
  7     where table_name = 'EMP2';
  8
  9    if cnt = 1
10    then
11      execute immediate 'drop table emp2';
12    end if;
13
14    execute immediate 'create table emp2 as select * from emp';
15  end;
16  /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
