Permission to Create Objects

Question

Hello-
I would like to create objects for my PL/SQL routines but when I try the following:
<code_snippet>
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE phone_t AS OBJECT(
m_type CHAR;
m_number VARCHAR(10);
m_extension VARCHAR(8);
CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION phone_t(a_type CHAR, a_number VARHCAR(20), a_extension(10))
RETURN SELF AS RESULT
</code_snippet>
I get:
<error>
SQL> @phone.pks
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE phone_t AS OBJECT(
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
</error>
I have the following permissions:
CREATE SESSION     
CREATE TABLE     
CREATE SYNONYM     
CREATE VIEW     
CREATE SEQUENCE     
CREATE DATABASE LINK     
CREATE ROLE     
CREATE PROCEDURE     
CREATE TRIGGER     
What do I need to ask for?
Thanks for your help,

You need to have "CREATE TYPE" granted to you for creating Object types.
