RE: Update Statistics
 
The update statistics command helps the server make the best decisions about which indexes to use when it processes a query, by providing information about the distribution of the key values in the indexes.   The update statistics commands create statistics, if there are no statistics for a particular column, or replaces existing statistics if they already exist. The statistics are stored in the system tables systabstats and sysstatistics.
