Problem while creating table dynamically using stored procedure

Question

Hi all
When i try to execute the following lines get insufficient privilege error.
FYI: i m able to create table statically.(i.e without using stored procedure)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE pcalling IS
str varchar2(60);
BEGIN
str:='create table t15(tno number,tname varchar2(5))';
execute immediate str;
END;
Thanks in advance

hi
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE runddl (ddl_in in VARCHAR2)
  2     AUTHID CURRENT_USER
  3  IS
  4  BEGIN
  5     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ddl_in;
  6  END;
  7  .
SQL> /
Procedure created.AUTHID CURRENT_USER clause before the IS keyword which runddl executes, it should run under the authority of the invoker, or current user not the authority of the definer.
if you omit it then it will no longer will be run if the creator doesnt have privelege to run this ddl regardless invoker has or not.
i hope you got it
