Explain update statistics.



Explain update statistics...

Answer / Shiv Prasad Shukla

Update Statistics in Sybase is a database maintenance task that updates the statistics for a specific table or index. These statistics are used by the query optimizer to make informed decisions about which execution plan to use for a given query. Over time, as data in the tables changes, the statistics can become stale and misleading, leading to suboptimal query performance. Updating statistics helps ensure that the query optimizer has up-to-date information when choosing an execution plan.
