Every statistics update

The next executed query takes the benefit of the updated statistics. Since SQL Server does not wait for the updated statistics, we also call it Asynchronous mode statistics. In the previous section, we learned that SQL Server automatically updates the out-of-date statistics. We can also manually update the statistics for improving the query execution plan and performance on a requirement basis.

Employee table. In the following screenshot, we can verify that all the stats get an update at the same time. Execute the following code. The following query does a full scan and updates the statistics for specific statistics in the specified object. We usually perform database maintenance such as index rebuild or index reorganize.

SQL Server automatically updates the statistics after the index rebuild. We should update column statistics after index rebuild as well. We can use the following queries to do the task for all statistics on a specified object.

SQL Server does not update statistics with the index reorganize activity. We should manually update the statistics, if required or need to rely on the automatically updated statistics.

Although you will notice that statistics will not be updated if not required, if you look at the image above you can see the where it says "did not require update". Statistics are used by the Query Optimizer to create execution plans based on statistical distribution of required values, the information is stored in BLOBs binary large objects. Value cardinality or a histogram is used to determine the number of rows to return, and execution plans are built with this information.

For unique values, the density is 1. High density variations on a given column can lead to parameter sniffing issues. Also, outdated or non-existent statistics can lead to poor performing queries or sub-optimal query plans.
