Chnging tbl name while insrting,updting

Question

Hi,
I have two pl/sql procedures
SP1 which inserts the data into TEMP1
SP2 which inserts the data into TEMP2
The only difference between these two procedures is the table that we insert the data into.
Code is same in SP1 and SP2
Table structures are exactly same except the table names....
Every time i change SP1, i have to change SP2 as well and its getting tough to maintain both...
My question is "Do we have something like a decode while inserting based on a value
eg:
insert into SOMETHING_LIKE_DECODE(Value, '1', temp1,'2', temp2)   (id, date) values('1','01-aug-2011');This table has like more than 30 columns and thats why looking for something simple solution other than writing if-else or dynamic sql when ever i insert and update these tables
thanks in advance

Answer 1

For sake of completeness though, there is a way to insert conditionally into different tables, though I agree with the previous answers, that similar data should be kept in just one table; however, there are occassions when there is a need to split data into different tables, especially when the structure is different.
Example:
(for sake of this example my two tables are the same, but they could easily be different)
SQL> create sequence test_seq;
Sequence created.
SQL> create table table1 (id number, val varchar2(30));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2 (id number, val varchar2(30));
Table created.

  4    when comm is not null then
