Glenn,

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

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
