1. Create a table schema 'test' and put something in it, e.g. a table called 'test' with one column.
2. The following command should dump this table schema: mysqldump -u root -ppassword -P 3310 test > "<path to dump location>"
3. Output:
mysqldump: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SELECT COLUMN_NAME, JSON_EXTRACT(HISTOGRAM, '$."number-of-buckets-specified"') FROM information_schema.COLUMN_STATISTICS WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'test' AND TABLE_NAME = 'test';': Unknown table 'column_statistics' in information_schema (1109)

I did not experience this issue in MariaDB versions 10.1 or lower. It exists in neither MySQL 5.x versions nor in 8.x versions. However I came across this MySQL report, which might be related: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=89825.

The workaround to this problem is to add the --column-statistics=0 parameter to the command but I figure that should be the default.
