Looks like a documentation bug if the authors of the feature actually
meant to implement the following syntax:
CREATE [ IF NOT EXISTS ] STATISTICS
create if not exists statistics words_stats on a, b from words;
CREATE STATISTICS
create if not exists statistics words_stats on a, b from words;
NOTICE: statistics object "words_stats" already exists, skipping
CREATE STATISTICS
If that's really what's intended, it seems a bit inconsistent with most
other commands and with DROP STATISTICS [ IF NOT EXISTS ] itself.
Thanks,
