The procedure will not compile successfully because the syntax of

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is incorrect.
The procedure will raise an exception because one of the views is a
complex view.
The procedure will raise an exception because Dynamic SQL can drop
tables but cannot drop views.
All views in the user's schema will be dropped. (*)
