Benefit of updating statistics after creating new index

  • Is there any performance benefit of updating statistics after creating a new index?  I am in the process of creating up to 40 new indexes to improve performance in my database and curious to know if I should update the statistics on each of the affected tables afterward.

  • No, the stats are going to be up to date because you just created the index.
