Normally, whenever you get an error it can be cause for concern.
But not this one.
Let me present to you – the best error message in the entire Oracle documentation library!
Tragically, someone evidently didn’t like this little bit of humour because it is now missing from the more recent documentation references
Bah humbug I say!
Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!
Note that there are 7 ORA- messages that say “Don’t do that”, 4 of them without an exclamation point but 3 of them do have an exclamation point after.
ORA-30658: attempt was made to create a temporary table with EXTERNAL organization
Cause: An attempt was made to create an External Organized Temporary table. This is not supported.
Action: Don’t do that!
You don’t say!

PC gone mad, I say… happy xmas/ny, Connor.
One day, we’ll catch up for a beer, I’m sure! Hope life’s treating you well in the meantime.
I’m considering semi-retirement next year, unless something takes my fancy!
ORA-3113 (as you would say).
