guys,

I have quick question - our environment is a low volume OLTP environment with upto 400 rows updated/inserted/deleted in 40 tables every day.

In this environment would it be prudent to run the a job update index statistics on every table each week. Currently I update index statistics only when
I refresh the database with data (which is I trucnate all the data and run ETL program to load all the tables from source data).

Any suggestions and inputs would be helpful

Thanks

I'm not sure if it would be prudent, but you might as well schedule it to run for performance reasons.

How big (or small) is your database?

I have 4gb database.

I guess I am trying to find out what is an ideal scenario that would require index statistics update. For me when there is data refresh (purging all the data and reloading the data) I would require index.

Any suggestions/inputs would help

Thanks

For 4gb db, rebuild all indexes may only take couple minutes.
