i am trying to create a table using below code.
set serveroutput on;
DECLARE
cursor c1 is select '''create table demo1 (demo varchar2(100))''' c2 from dual;
testvar c1%rowtype;
BEGIN
open c1;
fetch c1 into testvar;
close c1;
execute immediate testvar.c2;
END;
but it is giving
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
ORA-06512: at line 8
00900. 00000 - "invalid SQL statement"
What is wrong in this code.

Answer 1

You need nothing more than except these 3 lines of code if you really want to do it dynamically using a PLSQL block. No need for selecting from dual .
declare
vsql varchar2 (100) := 'create table demo1 (demo varchar2(100))';
begin
execute immediate vsql;
end;
Note: It does not makes any sense selecting create table statement from a select. If you have any other specific requirement, please mention so that people can help you here.
Btw, you block will work simplly once you remove the extra ' as mentioned by William
set serveroutput on;
DECLARE
cursor c1 is select 'create table demo1 (demo varchar2(100))' c2 from dual;
testvar c1%rowtype;
BEGIN
open c1;
fetch c1 into testvar;
close c1;
execute immediate testvar.c2;
END
