correct syntax for private temporary table with on commit clause

Question

I am creating a private temporary table in oracle with the following

    create private temporary table ora$ptt_users as
select * from lul_users;

This works fine however when I add on commit preserve definition as follows

    create private temporary table ora$ptt_users as
select * from lul_users on commit preserve definition;

I get an "SQL command not properly ended. Any suggestions

Answer 1

You have the clause in the wrong place:

create private temporary table ora$ptt_users
on commit preserve definition as
select * from lul_users;

fiddle (against dual).

See the documentation, including the example for a global temporary table
