Extra Statistics

  • I have a table with 50 columns, 15 indexes and 100+ statistics.  I thought statistics were for indexes.  I can't delete them as the "delete" option is dimmed on the right click menu.  Could these be slowing the read of the table down?  Should I get rid of them?  How would I get rid of them?

    Thanks !

  • You can get rid of them by dropping them (DROP STATISTICS). The Query Optimiser will recreate them as soon as it needs them, so unless the pattern of work has changed significantly since the table was created, they'll all be back in a couple of days.
