Rebuild/Reorg and Statistics

  • Hi All,

    Rebuilding the indexes covers the statistics.

    When we are reorganizing the indexes, do we need to update index statics separately or it will also update the index statistics like reorg?

    What is the good practice to update column statistics.

  • Reorganise does not update stats, you'll have to do it if you want them updated

    I have a question

    when I run the below query why for some of the statisticname have "both auto_created or user_created is zero" and with date just 2 days ago (We have rebuild index job on that day). It should show value "1" for auto_created

    SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id) AS [ObjectName]

    ,[name] AS [StatisticName]

    ,STATS_DATE([object_id]

    , [stats_id]) AS [StatisticUpdateDate]

    ,auto_created

    ,user_created

    FROM sys.stats

    where cast(STATS_DATE([object_id], [stats_id]) as date)!= '2015-05-26'

    order by ObjectName, statisticUpdateDate;
