Oracle PLSQL, select in DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS

Question

I want to usue select query in DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS but the code I wrote returns an error.

EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS((select sys_context( 'userenv','current_schema') from dual));

The query: select sys_context( 'userenv','current_schema') from dual; returns the schema name.

And this is my error:

Error starting at line : 1 in command -
BEGIN DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS((select sys_context( 'userenv','current_schema') from dual)); END;
Error report -

You are too close. No need to use SELECT .. FROM DUAL

Use the following code:

EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS(sys_context( 'userenv','current_schema'));
