Goal
In some situations it is necessary to quickly add or remove histograms from a particular column (also known as column statistics.)
This article shows how to accomplish this with one command.

Column statistics can be:
- so called minimal consisting of just 1 bucket (2 endpoints) with min/max value information required by the Optimizer
- histograms with between 2 and 254 buckets (3 and 255 endpoints respectively)
- absent with no column information recorded in the data dictionary (not normally recommended)
