"ORA-00922: missing or invalid option" when creating tables

Question

I entered the following SQL commands in Oracle but it complained "ORA-00922: missing or invalid option"

CREATE TABLE Student (
    StuID     NUMBER(15),
    StuName   VARCHAR2(50),
    Phone     VARCHAR2(20),
    PRIMARY KEY (StuID))

CREATE TABLE Program (
    ProCode       VARCHAR2(12),
    ProTitle      VARCHAR2(50),
    PRIMARY KEY (ProCode))

WHY???

Answer 1

If you are using the dreaded HTML GUI (inside the browser) of OracleXE then that does not support running more than one statement.

Use SQL Developer, SQL*Plus or any other GUI tool instead.
