Mark, The answer is obviously yes for an RMAN clone, since it is a physical copy of database files - and system statistics are stored, in SYS tables in the system tablespace by default. For the export, I have run an export full followed by a 'strings' and I have grep'ed for stat and CPU and got this among other things: ANALSTATS TR "MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU" ); SREC.EPC := 2; DBMS_STATS.SET_COLUMN_STATS(NULL,'"MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU"','"ECM_SNAPSHOT_ID"', NULL ,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,srec,0,6); END; ANALSTATS TR "MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU" ); SREC.EPC := 2; DBMS_STATS.SET_COLUMN_STATS(NULL,'"MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU"','"VENDOR_NAME"', NULL ,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,srec,0,6); END; ANALSTATS TR "MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU" ); SREC.EPC := 2; DBMS_STATS.SET_COLUMN_STATS(NULL,'"MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU"','"FREQ_IN_MHZ"', NULL ,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,srec,0,6); END; ANALSTATS TR "MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU" ); SREC.EPC := 2; DBMS_STATS.SET_COLUMN_STATS(NULL,'"MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU"','"ECACHE_IN_MB"', NULL ,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,srec,0,6); END; ANALSTATS TR "MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU" ); SREC.EPC := 2; DBMS_STATS.SET_COLUMN_STATS(NULL,'"MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU"','"IMPL"', NULL ,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,srec,0,6); END; ANALSTATS TR "MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU" ); SREC.EPC := 2; DBMS_STATS.SET_COLUMN_STATS(NULL,'"MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU"','"REVISION"', NULL ,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,srec,0,6); END; ANALSTATS TR "MGMT_ECM_HW_CPU" Therefore I'd tend to say 'yes' too, and I presume that expdp behaves identically.
