When do index rebuilds and update statistics occur?
When index rebuilds occur, index statistics are automatically updated. Using this information we can change statistics maintenance to only update columns statistics. Below is a comparison between two statements updating all and only column statistics:
How to reduce time for SQL Server index rebuilds and update?
In SQL Server Management Studio, identify the Index Rebuild SQL Agent Job for your SQL Server: 2. Insert a new Job Step before the Index Rebuilds that will increase the MAXDOP value instance-wide to 8 as shown below in Figures 5 and 6. This is accomplished by clicking on the “Steps” option on the left menu, then pressing the “Insert…”
Why do I need to update my SQL server statistics?
Updating statistics helps the SQL Server query optimizer create more optimal execution plans to improve query performance. Statistics are maintained on indexes and columns, by default statistics are updated on both indexes and columns.
Can You reorganize and rebuild indexes in the database?
You can remedy index fragmentation by reorganizing or rebuilding an index. For partitioned indexes built on a partition scheme, you can use either of these methods on a complete index or a single partition of an index. Rebuilding an index drops and re-creates the index.

How to update column statistics in SQL Server?
Updating column statistics only: As indicated by Figure 10, there is potentially a substantial gain by skipping unnecessary index statistics updates. A common method for updating SQL Server statistics is scheduling a SQL Server Agent Job with custom scripts or a SQL Server Maintenance Plan.
Why do I need to resample my partition statistics?
WITH RESAMPLE is required because partition statistics built with different sample rates cannot be merged together. Update all existing statistics, statistics created on one or more columns, or statistics created for indexes. If none of the options are specified, the UPDATE STATISTICS statement updates all statistics on the table or indexed view.
