Question cope exist file prioritie

Hello

I want to make new file which have the same priorities of specified exist file, by super user,
and the file is no contents.

To explain it with example:

exist file:
ls -l old.sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 33 Feb 24 16:09 old.sql

if I copy and clean it.
cp -p old.sql new.sql && cat /dev/null > new.sql

ls -l new.sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Feb 24 16:20 new.sql

but if the old.sql file is large the operation would be very bad in performance.

can it be finished by one command with good performance ?

thanks in advance.

RENICE(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 RENICE(8)

NAME
renice -- alter priority of running processes SYNOPSIS
renice priority [[-p] pid ...] [[-g] pgrp ...] [[-u] user ...] renice -n increment [[-p] pid ...] [[-g] pgrp ...] [[-u] user ...] DESCRIPTION
The renice utility alters the scheduling priority of one or more running processes. The following who parameters are interpreted as process ID's, process group ID's, user ID's or user names. The renice'ing of a process group causes all processes in the process group to have their scheduling priority altered. The renice'ing of a user causes all processes owned by the user to have their scheduling priority altered. By default, the processes to be affected are specified by their process ID's. The following options are available: -g Force who parameters to be interpreted as process group ID's. -n Instead of changing the specified processes to the given priority, interpret the following argument as an increment to be applied to the current priority of each process. -u Force the who parameters to be interpreted as user names or user ID's. -p Reset the who interpretation to be (the default) process ID's. Users other than the super-user may only alter the priority of processes they own, and can only monotonically increase their ``nice value'' within the range 0 to PRIO_MAX (20). (This prevents overriding administrative fiats.) The super-user may alter the priority of any process and set the priority to any value in the range PRIO_MIN (-20) to PRIO_MAX. Useful priorities are: 20 (the affected processes will run only when nothing else in the system wants to), 0 (the ``base'' scheduling priority), anything negative (to make things go very fast). FILES
/etc/passwd to map user names to user ID's EXAMPLES
Change the priority of process ID's 987 and 32, and all processes owned by users daemon and root. renice +1 987 -u daemon root -p 32 SEE ALSO
nice(1), rtprio(1), getpriority(2), setpriority(2) STANDARDS
The renice utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). HISTORY
The renice utility appeared in 4.0BSD. BUGS
Non super-users cannot increase scheduling priorities of their own processes, even if they were the ones that decreased the priorities in the first place. BSD
