Index Usage

  • Hi All

    When using the sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats DMV to track Index Usage, is the user_updates column just for updates to records in the table or does it also contain the cumulative inserts as well?

    Thanks

  • The number of times index has been used in an update operation (this counts inserts, updates, and deletes) along with the time of the last update

  • Inserts, updates and deletes. In this case, update means change, and the index is changed by all 3 of those.
