I know I'm a bit late, but isn't the syntax backwards?

"CREATE STATISTICS s1 WITH (dependencies) ON (col_a, col_b) FROM table;"

These do it the other way round:

CREATE INDEX idx ON table (col_a);

AND:

CREATE TABLE t (
id INT REFERENCES table_2 (col_b);
);

Won't this be confusing and make things hard to remember?

Sorry for not asking earlier, I somehow missed this.

Regard,

Tels
