Question : Error message — ORA-00901: invalid CREATE command

Hi,

I am using Oracle8i. (8.1.7.2.0)
When I use the following query — CREATE DOMAIN country_code (2) NOT NULL;

I get the error message —  ORA-00901: invalid CREATE command

There is nothing wrong with the SQL query. Why is Oracle not recognizing the reserved word DOMAIN?

Thanks.

 

Solution: Error message — ORA-00901: invalid CREATE command

CREATE DOMAIN is indeed part of the SQL’92 standard but Oracle does not implement this specific functionality.

However,  as mudumbe’s said,  domain can be emulated with types.
