Hi,

We are seeing probems with using @resample for following 2 scenarios:

1) We run the update statistics for all tables using syntax:
update statistics table_name with sample 20 percent
We have daily nightly script that runs exec sp_updatestats @resample='resample' so as expected
it is doing update statistics daily with 20 percent sampling ratio
Later we want to change the sampling ratio to 30 percent so we run following command for all tables:
update statistics table_name with sample 30 percent
But our nighly script instead of using 30 percent sampling ratio is still using 20 percent

2) Since the data is growing with time, we expect @resample to use sampling ratio based on current rows in system but it is using
sampling ratio based on time when we run update statisics manually. For example
if today table has 10000 rows and we run update statistics with 20 percent; @resample we do update statistics for 2000 rows but if
number of rows in table increases to 20000 rows we expect @resample to do 4000 rows but it is still doing 2000 rows

Is there any bug in using @resample or we are not doing right way?

Thanks

Maybe you need to run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE(DBName) to correct any inconsistencies.
