Norman,

I don't have a solution or an answer, but I have a reaction.  In a word: 
Ouchiwawa.

I'm sure you run a hot backup on something like that.  Too bad you can't 
update the
statistics on the backup box and export them back to the production one.  Too 
bad you
can't do your own sampling and punch in your own stats.

I wonder how small Sybase's market share has to get before they recognize the
benefits of opening up some of their system.  Quite a bit, I'm sure.  Remember
Informix?

Oh, you might have noticed I'm issuing personal invitations to people to tell 
their
story for the web site's "case studies".  Please consider this one.  :-)

Best,
