# Manipulating Column Statistics
The following operations are available:
- `ALTER TABLE [db].table ADD STATISTIC (columns list) TYPE type` - Adds statistic description to tables metadata.
- `ALTER TABLE [db].table DROP STATISTIC (columns list) TYPE type` - Removes statistic description from tables metadata and deletes statistic files from disk.
- `ALTER TABLE [db].table CLEAR STATISTIC (columns list) TYPE type` - Deletes statistic files from disk.
- `ALTER TABLE [db.]table MATERIALIZE STATISTIC (columns list) TYPE type` - Rebuilds the statistic for columns. Implemented as a [mutation](../../../sql-reference/statements/alter/index.md#mutations).
The first two commands are lightweight in a sense that they only change metadata or remove files.
Also, they are replicated, syncing statistics metadata via ZooKeeper.
:::note
Statistic manipulation is supported only for tables with [`*MergeTree`](../../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md) engine (including [replicated](../../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/replication.md) variants).
