Basic about Index statistics

  • Just run into 2 contrary articles, where one says the Index Statistics are Updated when the index is rebuild or reorganised. Other says that they remain constant.

    Logically according to me they should remain as they are. But just to clear the doubt i posted it her.

  • They're both wrong.

    Statistics associated with an index are updated with the index is rebuild. A reorganise does not touch the stats. Stats other than the ones on the index are untouched by rebuilds
