UpdateStatistics Method

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 UpdateStatistics method forces data distribution statistics update for a referenced Microsoft SQL Server index or all indexes defined on a SQL Server table.

Syntax

object
.UpdateStatistics(
)

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT UpdateStatistics( );

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.
