I am trying to build an Oracle stored procedure which will accept a table name as a parameter. The procedure will then rebuild all indexes on the table.
My problem is I get an error while using the ALTER command from a stored procedure, as if PLSQL does not allow that command.
Here are a couple of possibilities. First, you would have to treat the SQL as dynamic SQL. Second, Oracle DDL statements cannot be run in a transaction (or, they terminate the current transaction and cannot themselves be rolled back). This may affect whether you can use them in stored procedures, or where you can use stored procedures that contain them.
If none of the above apply at all – there could easily be something else astray – I suggest posting some code.
