I have 2 tables with the same structures, same number of rows, same data - except for one column which is neither indexed nor used in any referential integrity. Example, TableA and TableB:

TableA has columns col1 and col2. TableB is created as:

create TableB as
select col1, (col2 + 1) col2 from Table A;

TableB has same indexes as TableA except for the name. TableA has index1_A, index2_A.. and TableB has index1_B, index2_B..

In short, the tables are exactly in structure and data. Is there a way I can just copy the statistics of TableA to TableB?? It will take me 5 hours to analyze TableB if I can't.

Thanks.

Use DBMS_STATS.CREATE_STAT_TABLE procedure and
DBMS_STATS.EXPORT_*_STATS procedures.
Idea is store the stats in a seperate table and import those stats to the table we want.

But i doubt whether it works as intended in your case.
>>TableB has same indexes as TableA except for the name. TableA has index1_A, index2_A.. and TableB has index1_B, index2_B..
This is a difference.
And
>>(col2 + 1) col2
If these columns are used , that may change the distribution of data. So everything is changed.
copying stats is intended only for pursposes said in the above docset.
