script:

drop table deleted_employees; create table deleted_employees;  (  employee_id number(6,0),  first_name varchar2(20 byte),  last_name varchar2(20 byte),  email varchar2(20 byte),  phone_number varchar2(20 byte) ,   hire_date date ,   job_id varchar2(10 byte),  salary number(8,2),  commission_id number(2,2),  manager_id number(6,0),  department_id number(4,0)  ) 

i can't figure problem out, can help?

the first error, ora-00942, because table doesn't exist first time run this; you're expecing that, it's bit ugly.

the second because have stray semicolon @ end of first line of create statement. error message isn't entirely helpful wrong. rest knock-ons that, tries interpret rest of command, , can't...

create table deleted_employees (  employee_id number(6,0),  first_name varchar2(20 byte),  last_name varchar2(20 byte),  email varchar2(20 byte),  phone_number varchar2(20 byte) ,   hire_date date ,   job_id varchar2(10 byte),  salary number(8,2),  commission_id number(2,2),  manager_id number(6,0),  department_id number(4,0) )
