ORA-01031: Insufficient privileges
What it means
The user lacks a system or object privilege for the operation. In definer-rights PL/SQL, privileges from roles are not active, so a CREATE TABLE via EXECUTE IMMEDIATE needs a direct grant.
How to fix it
Grant the privilege directly to the user (GRANT CREATE TABLE TO app) or use invoker rights (AUTHID CURRENT_USER) where appropriate.
