How would I create a dynamic table name, using the loop increment as a
parameter?

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tt_PERSONSTODEACTIVATE || v_iteration CASCADE;

that doesn't work. don't think i can use a dynamic variable as a table name,
so i can't build the table name as a variable. perhaps if the entire DROP
TABLE is inside dynamic SQL and I execute entire script. could try that,
although it's messy for such a simple problem.

i still don't understand still why the TEMP tables are not acting TEMPORARY
and are not going away when their loop ends.
