DDL in package

Question

hi all ,
I was trying to do a DDL IN PACKAGE but i am receiving an error.
Basically i am preparing for OCA so it came in my mind to do a ddl in package's procedure even if i do a ddl in BEGIN section of package body i still get the same error. The code that i have used is
create package p1 is
procedure p1;
end;
  create or replace package body p1 is
     cnt number;
   cursor c1 is select * from hr.employees;
      v1 c1%rowtype;
        procedure p1 is
     cnt number :=0 ;
               begin
         loop
             exit when c1%notfound or cnt= 10;
               fetch c1 into v1;
                 cnt := cnt+1;
                 dbms_output.put_line('The name is proc  '||v1.first_name);
                  execute immediate('create table tst(no number)');
                 dbms_output.put_line('id is '||v1.employee_id);
         end loop;
     dbms_output.put_line(c1%rowcount);
            end;
   BEGIN
      open c1 ;
       fetch c1 into v1;
         dbms_output.put_line('The name is '||v1.first_name);
   end;
O/P is :->
The name is Donald
The name is proc  Douglas
begin
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "PLSQL.P1", line 13

Basically i am preparing for OCA If you are learning Oracle, the one thing you should from learn from this is never, ever, create or alter database objects from code. It is error prone, unreliable and renders your database completely unsupportable.
Object creation should be done in SQL scripts, applied during production windows, and stored in a source control system.
