Question of the Day

Incremental Statistics

I have run this on SQL Server 2022 for the Sales database:

ALTER DATABASE Sales SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS ON (INCREMENTAL = ON)
I then run this in the Sales database:
USE Sales
GO
CREATE STATISTICS CustomerStats1 ON dbo.Customer (CustomerKey, EmailAddress) WITH INCREMENTAL = OFF
The dbo.Customer table is partitioned. How are statistics created?
