UpdateStatisticsWith Method (Column, Index)
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The UpdateStatisticsWith method forces data distribution statistics update for a referenced Microsoft SQL Server index, or for a hypothetical index used to support data distribution statistics for a column.
Syntax
object.UpdateStatisticsWith(ScanType [, ScanNumber ] [, ReCompute ] )
Parts
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.ScanType
Long integer that specifies a data sampling method as described in Settings.ScanNumber
Optional. A long integer that indicates a sample size as described in Settings.ReCompute
Optional. When TRUE (default), no change is made to automatic update of data distribution statistics. When FALSE, automatic update of data distribution statistics is disabled.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT UpdateStatisticsWith(
SQLDMO_STAT_SCAN_TYPE ScanType,
long ScanNumber CPPDEFAULT( = 0),
BOOL ReCompute CPPDEFAULT( = TRUE);
Settings
Set ScanType by using these values. When a ScanType setting indicates a sample size, set ScanNumber as described.
Constant |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
SQLDMOStatistic_FullScan |
3 |
Perform a full scan of the index or column to determine statistics values. |
SQLDMOStatistic_Percent |
1 |
Perform a sampled scan using a percentage value. When specified, use the ScanNumber value to indicate percentage. Specify percentage using a whole number, for example, 55 specifies 55 percent. |
SQLDMOStatistic_Rows |
2 |
Perform a sampled scan using a number of rows. When specified, use the ScanNumber argument to indicate number of rows. |
SQLDMOStatistic_Sample |
0 |
Perform a percentage sampled scan using a system defined percentage. |
Remarks
Index-based, data distribution statistics support SQL Server query optimization. Data distribution statistics are calculated for an index when the index is first used in query optimization or at user direction. Statistics are updated automatically at configurable intervals and at user direction. The UpdateStatisticsWith method directs statistic update, optionally restricting statistics sampling to optimize the process.
