Glenn,

I believe that CALL needs to be terminated with a semicolon.

                    to ORACLE-L

I am working up a script to run the dbms_stats.gather_database_stats() procedure and have run into something for which I haven't yet found an explanation.

Maybe someone here can tell me why I can run dbms_stats.gather_database_stats
from Python like this (Perl would be similar, I believe, since I found the fix in a Perl list archive)

cursor.execute("BEGIN dbms_stats.gather_database_stats(); END; ")

but not like this:

cursor.execute("call dbms_stats.gather_database_stats()")

"Call" works for other stored procedures, dbms_utility.analyze_schema() for

instance, but not for dbms_stats.

So, what's the difference?

Thanks, Glenn
