2375909 - Updating statistics for columns appearing in multiple indexes - SAP ASE

Symptom

  • SCN blog Effective usage of sampling for update statistics in ASE  says:
    • if a column appears in multiple indexes, the update index statistics table_name [index_name] command updates statistics for that column multiple times. 
    • the sampling can be used on non-leading columns only.
    • in some cases, it may just take too much time and resources.
       
  • e.g. We have two indexes; 

Index 1 : IX_TRANSACTIONS_COL1_COl2 ( COL1, COL2)
Index 2 : IX_TRANSACTIONS_COL2_COL1 (COL2, COL1)
