Its just possible that the script I presented at UK-OUG two years ago may meet your requirements. It uses nested SQL*Plus (not pl/sql) to count as many tables as you identify in a driver table, and store those results.

Check it out at http://peter-robson.port5.com/count.htm

The site will be subject to some modifications over the next couple of months, but most of the stuff is there.
