Table manual creation

Question

Hi,
I have to manually create around 25,000 tables and indexes. I have made as a script, where i just drag and drop the tables to sql prompt. While doing like this many tables are not getting created. When I try to create manually the uncreated tables one by one then It's getting created.
Why are not all the tables created altogether while I drag and drop?
What is the best parctice to create such huge tables?
Just an example of my table script
CREATE TABLE "DXF_DX_EXCH007" ("RECID" VARCHAR2(200), "XMLRECORD" "SYS"."XMLTYPE") PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT) TABLESPACE "BMPRODNEW" LOGGING NOCOMPRESS XMLTYPE "XMLRECORD" STORE AS CLOB "LOB_DXF_DX_EXCH007" (TABLESPACE "BMPRODNEW" ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW CHUNK 8192 RETENTION CACHE STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT));
Like this I have thousands to create...
Thanks

Hi,
The tables which are not getting created might be missing semicolon or parenthesis.Can you please check them and try creating them by running from SQL prompt as said above.For best practise write your scripts as below:
eg.sql
sqlplus <<EOF
${DB_USERNAME}/${DB_PASSWORD}@${DB_ORACLE_SID}
set echo on timing on
SPOOL eg.sql
drop table test1;
drop table test2;
Create table test1......;
create table test2 .....;
SPOOL OFF
exit
EOF
SQL>@@eg.sql
