UpdateStatisticsWith Method (Table)

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 indexes defined on the referenced Microsoft SQL Server table.

Syntax

object
.UpdateStatisticsWith(
AffectType
,
ScanType
, [ ScanNumber ]
, [ ReCompute ] )

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
  • AffectType
    Long integer that specifies statistics source as described in Settings.
  • 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_AFFECT_TYPE AffectType,
SQLDMO_STAT_SCAN_TYPE ScanType,
long ScanNumber CPPDEFAULT( = 0),
BOOL ReCompute CPPDEFAULT( = TRUE);

Settings

Set AffectType by using these values.

Constant Value Description

SQLDMOStatistic_AffectAll

2

Update all statistics regardless of the source.

SQLDMOStatistic_/AffectColumn

1

Update statistics derived from column data only.

SQLDMOStatistic_/AffectIndex

0

Default. Update statistics derived from indexes only.

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(es) or column(s) 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.
