following is the corrected code

just add AUTHID CURRENT_USER before is

CREATE OR REPLACE procedure BASE_USER.create_audit_table (i_table_name	in	varchar2)
AUTHID CURRENT_USER
is
begin
	execute immediate ('create table base_user.audit_'||i_table_name||' as select * from base_user.'||i_table_name) ;
  dbms_output.put_line(i_table_name || '_AUDIT table is successfully is created');
exception
  when others then
  	dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
    dbms_output.put_line ('create table ' || i_table_name || '_AUDIT as select * from ' || i_table_name) ;
end;

just compile the procedure again and execute it, it'll work properly without any error.

 

by: sujith80Posted on 2009-01-27 at 18:02:32ID: 23483036

Your log shows that the procedure was run successfully once.
Did it create the table?

If not try to explicitly grant "create any table" privilege to the user and try again.

I took the following information from the Toad Help

"........
The syntax to support this feature is simple. You add the following clause before your IS or AS keyword in the program header:

AUTHID CURRENT_USER
Here, for example, is a generic run DDL engine that relies on the new Oracle 8.1 native dynamic SQL statement EXECUTE IMMEDIATE and the invoker rights model:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE runddl (ddl_in in VARCHAR2)
   AUTHID CURRENT_USER
IS
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ddl_in;
END;
/
The AUTHID CURRENT_USER clause before the IS keyword indicates that when runddl executes, it should run under the authority of the invoker or current user, not the authority of the definer. If you do not include the AUTHID clause or if you include it and explicitly request definer rights as shown:

AUTHID DEFINER
then all references in your program will be resolved according to the directly granted privileges of the owning schema.
....."
