Don't we want these stats to be dealt in the same way as tables and
functions as all the stats entries (subscription entries) are specific
to a particular database? If so, I think we should write/read these
to/from db specific stats file in the same way as we do for tables or
functions. I think in the current patch, it will unnecessarily read
and probably write subscription stats even when those are not
required.
