Gather Statistics Enhancements in 12c -- 3

Here's how an enhancement to the DBMS_STATS package can generate reports :

SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('HEMANT');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> declare
  2  mystatsreport clob;
  3  begin
  4  mystatsreport := dbms_stats.report_stats_operations(
  5  since=>SYSTIMESTAMP-1,
  6  until=>SYSTIMESTAMP,
  7  detail_level=>'TYPICAL',
  8  format=>'TEXT');
  9  end;
 10  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> 

I can generate reports of Gather_Stats executions.
Note : It doesn't report the"automatic" Gather_Stats that I demonstrated on 06-Aug (for a CTAS) and on 11-Aug (for a Direct Path INSERT into an empty table).
