Nejlepší a nejúčinnější způsob je zachytit výjimku "tabulka nenalezena":tím se vyhnete režii kontroly, zda tabulka existuje dvakrát; a netrpí problémem, že pokud DROP selže z nějakého jiného důvodu (což může být důležité), výjimka je stále upozorňována na volajícího:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || table_name;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
IF SQLCODE != -942 THEN
RAISE;
END IF;
END;
