Create Categories or Perspectives using PL/SQL?

Question

Hi
Can you create Categories or Perspectives using PL/SQL?
I have had a look at the API's section on here but I cant seem to find anything.
Is it just a simple as adding it to the table?
Thanx
Craig

Answer 1

Here's what I run:
I ran the query you provided above and here are the results:
UNLIMITED TABLESPACE
CREATE TABLE
Here are the commands I run:
CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE AS SELECT * FROM DUAL;CREATE TABLE succeeded.
DROP TABLE TEST_TABLE;DROP TABLE TEST_TABLE succeeded.
CREATE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC IS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE AS SELECT * FROM DUAL';
END TEST_PROC;PROCEDURE TEST_PROC Compiled.
EXEC TEST_PROC; Error starting at line 1 in command:
EXEC TEST_PROC;
Error report:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at , line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges"
*Cause:    An attempt was made to change the current username or password
without the appropriate privilege. This error also occurs if
attempting to install a database without the necessary operating
system privileges.
When Trusted Oracle is configure in DBMS MAC, this error may occur
if the user was granted the necessary privilege at a higher label
than the current login.
*Action:   Ask the database administrator to perform the operation or grant
the required privileges.
For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the
the appropriate privilege at a higher label, ask the database
administrator to regrant the privilege at the appropriate label.
Does this mean I need the CREATE ANY TABLE priv?
Thanks again everyone!
