Create Table in a Procedure?

Question

Hey everybody!
got a question... I would like to create a table within a procedure with a dynamic number of rows. The Input of the Procedure should be a number, and this number should determine the number of rows. Thought about something like this:
create_table(3)
-> rows: Seq_nb, Z1_Air, Z1_Gas, Z1_Time, Z2_Air, Z2_Gas, Z2_Time, Z3_Air, Z4_Gas, Z3_Time
is this possible to do? All Tries to make a CREATE TABLE within the Procedure didn't work. Also, it seems to be difficult to name a row like 'Zx_Gas', x := Number
I don't mean a temporary table, it should be a REAL table ;)
Anybody who could help me please? Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

Is this the one you are trying to get?
create or replace procedure create_table(num_of_cols in number) is
num number;
stmt varchar2(400);
begin
num:=num_of_cols;
execute immediate 'drop table test_tab';
stmt:='create table test_tab(constant_cols varchar2(30)';
for i in 1.. num
loop
stmt:=stmt||', Z'||i||'_Air varchar2(30)';
stmt:=stmt||', Z'||i||'_Gas varchar2(30)';
stmt:=stmt||', Z'||i||'_Time varchar2(30)';
end loop;
stmt:=stmt||')';
execute immediate stmt;
end;
