How do I find indexes that have statistics_norecompute = ON
The column is no_recompute
in sys.stats which says
Every index will have a corresponding statistics row with the same name and ID (sys.indexes.object_id = sys.stats.object_id AND sys.indexes.index_id = sys.stats.stats_id), but not every statistics row has a corresponding index.
So a JOIN between sys.indexes and sys.stats will match the index for you
Reason:
- statistics can be for columns or indexes
- an index has exactly one statistic.
- STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE applies to the statistic for that index, not the index itself
You can use this query:
select TableName = so.name,
IndexName = si.name,
StatName = s.name,
s.no_recompute
from sys.indexes si
inner join sys.stats s on si.object_id = s.object_id
inner join sys.objects so on si.object_id = so.object_id
where no_recompute = 0
and so.[type] in ('U', 'V')
order by so.name, si.name, s.name
