Hi,

below is the stored proc I wrote:

create or replace procedure test005
as
begin

CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TEMP_TRAN 
( 
COL1 NUMBER(9), 
COL2 VARCHAR2(30), 
COL3 DATE 
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS 

/
INSERT INTO TEMP_TRAN VALUES(1,'D',sysdate); 

INSERT INTO TEMP_TRAN VALUES(2,'I',sysdate); 

INSERT INTO TEMP_TRAN VALUES(3,'s',sysdate); 

COMMIT;
end;

when i executed it , i get an error message mentioning:

create or replace procedure test005
as
begin

CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TEMP_TRAN 
( 
COL1 NUMBER(9), 
COL2 VARCHAR2(30), 
COL3 DATE 
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS 

/
INSERT INTO TEMP_TRAN VALUES(1,'D',sysdate); 

INSERT INTO TEMP_TRAN VALUES(2,'I',sysdate); 

INSERT INTO TEMP_TRAN VALUES(3,'s',sysdate); 

COMMIT;
end;
Error at line 1
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object

Script Terminated on line 1.

I tried to drop the TEMP_TRAN and it says table doesn't exist. So there is no TEMP_TRAN table existed in system. why am I getting this error? I am using TOAD to create this stored proc.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
