---------------------------------------
Hi Lars,
Thank you very much for your comments. I will wait until you review all of
them and then submit a new patch. I will try to find some one here for the
authorization issue. By the way, could you please elaborate a little more about
the issue? Thanks again.

> Two motivations:
> (1) Cost-based Optimizer (CBO) depends heavily on the statistics of a column
> in a table (or a partition of a table). If we would like to test whether CBO
> chooses the best plan under different statistics, it would be time consuming
> if we load the whole table and create the statistics from ground up.
> (2) As database runs, the statistics of a column in a table (or a partition
> of a table) may change. We need a way or a mechanism to synchronize.
> We propose the following command to achieve that:
> ALTER TABLE table_name PARTITION partition_spec [COLUMN col_name] UPDATE
> STATISTICS col_statistics [COMMENT col_comment]
