Your above gather_table_stats call does not create a histogram on any columns of TEST_CBO. "FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO" creates histograms ONLY on columns that have been used in a predicate. Since this is a brand new table none of the columns have of course been used in a predicate yet, so no histograms are created.
