Den bedste og mest effektive måde er at fange undtagelsen "tabel ikke fundet":dette undgår omkostningerne ved at kontrollere, om tabellen eksisterer to gange; og lider ikke af det problem, at hvis DROP fejler af en anden grund (det kan være vigtigt), bliver undtagelsen stadig rejst til den, der ringer:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || table_name;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
IF SQLCODE != -942 THEN
RAISE;
END IF;
END;
