This seems not to be the case, overviews are always written to the pix file. Wouldn't it be better if the statistics and overviews were stored in separate files when the file was opened with update=0?</font></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";font-size:11pt"><font color="#000000">Also it seems like the driver can’t read the statistics when they are created with PCI, see attached file test_with_stats.pix. If you request the stats they are recalculated and rewritten to file. If not opened with update=1 see problem above.</font></span></p>
