My fellow co worker and DBA was about to alter a column on a table and received a message like this:
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN Col1 failed because STATISTICS hind_64
accesses this column
The puzzle is, I have not manually created those statistics or run Index Tuning Wizard, none of us.
What else can create this at database level? I have never seen this before. I know that Index Tuning Wizard can create that but again, we have not run that on any of the databases.
By the way, I have hundred of databases that share the same schema and only two of them are showing this.
