Count rows from multiple tables using SQL only

Question

Hi, I know this has probably been answered before, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. Please help.
I'd like count(*) [rows] for all tables in database using SQL only - no PL/SQL
The result should be something like:
Table RowCount
DBA_TABLES 1000
DBA_USERS 50
etc.
Thanks!

offcource write this script:
create or replace procedure count_tables (ip_schema VARCHAR2)
is
lv_owner VARCHAR2(100);
lv_table_name VARCHAR2(100);
lv_sql_statement VARCHAR2(2000);
lv_count_table NUMBER;
CURSOR c1 IS
SELECT owner, table_name
FROM all_tables
WHERE owner = ip_schema
ORDER BY table_name;
begin
dbms_output.put_line ('+--------------------------------------------------------------------+');
dbms_output.put_line ('¦ | | ¦');
dbms_output.put_line ('¦ Schema Name | Table Name | Number of Rows ¦');
dbms_output.put_line ('¦ | | ¦');
dbms_output.put_line ('¦------------------------------------------------------------------¦');
OPEN c1;
LOOP
FETCH c1 INTO lv_owner , lv_table_name;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
lv_sql_statement := 'SELECT count(*) FROM ' || lv_owner || '.' || lv_table_name;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE lv_sql_statement INTO lv_count_table;
IF lv_count_table > 0 THEN
dbms_output.put_line ('| '||rpad(lv_owner, 14, ' ')||'| '|| rpad(lv_table_name, 32, ' ')||'| '|| rpad(lv_count_table, 16, ' ')||' |');
-- dbms_output.put_line ('|---------------|---------------------------------|------------------|');
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
dbms_output.put_line ('+--------------------------------------------------------------------+');
exception
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line ('owner: '||lv_owner||' - table: '||lv_table_name||' - '||sqlerrm);
end count_tables;
set serveroutput on size 1000000
exec count_tables
drop procedure count_tables;
