We have a SQL Server 2012 instance, with auto-statitics set to ON for the DB:
But then i ran a query to check some statistics, and some haven't been updated in a while:
- Why is this the case? Is there a rule to whether SQL Server updates statistics that haven't been triggered by these indexes?
- Do i need to care? How do i know if i need to update them, or if they are causing performance issues for me?
Thanks!
