Is it possible to include an alter database statement in an anonymous pl/sql block?
When I execute this code to query user_tables for all table names, disable their constraints and drop the table, I got the following error:
***MY CODE
-- DECLARE VARIABLE(S)
DECLARE
v_TABLE_NAME TABLE_NAME.USER_TABLE%TYPE;
-- DECLARE AND DEFINE CURSOR
CURSOR c_GETTABLES is
SELECT TABLE_NAME from USER_TABLES;
BEGIN
OPEN c_GETTABLES;
LOOP
FETCH c_GETTABLES into v_TABLE_NAME;
EXIT when c_GETTABLES%notfound;
ALTER TABLE v_TABLE_NAME DISABLE PRIMARY KEY CASCADE;
DROP TABLE v_TABLE_NAME;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_GETTABLES;
END;
/
***RESPONSE FROM SERVER
ALTER TABLE v_TABLE_NAME DISABLE PRIMARY KEY CASCADE;

ERROR at line 15:
ORA-06550: line 15, column 1:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ALTER" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare exit for goto if loop mod null pragma
raise return select update while with <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge
<a single-quoted SQL string> pipe
Thanks
