Statistics=Export Nostatistics Specifies that statistic information is to be saved when the database is closed. The default is Nostatistics, which indicates that statistic information is not preserved when the database is closed. Clusterwide statistic information is not stored in the statistic file, which allows you to decide on which nodes the statistic information should be initially loaded when the database is opened. The statistic information is stored in a node-specific database file located in the same directory as the database root file. The file has the same name as the root-file-spec, with a default file extension of .rds. Because the statistic files contain node- specific information, they cannot be renamed or copied. They can be deleted if they are no longer needed. The Statistics=Export qualifier cannot be specified in conjunction with the Cluster qualifier. To preserve the statistics information for a database open on a cluster, you must specifically close the individual nodes. The RMU Backup command does not save the statistics files. They are considered temporary files and not part of the database.
