<div><p>Column statistics are not maintained when the underlying table
data changes. The Statistics Manager determines if columns statistics are
still valid or if they no longer represent the column accurately (stale).</p>
<div class="section"><p>This validation is done each time one of the following occurs: </p>
<ul><li>A full open occurs for a query where column statistics were used to create
the access plan</li>
<li>A new plan is added to the plan cache, either because a completely new
query was optimized or because an existing plan was re-optimized. </li>
</ul>
<p>To validate the statistics, the Statistics Manager checks to see if
any of the following apply: </p>
<ul><li>Number of rows in the table has changed by more than 15% of the total
table row count</li>
<li>Number of rows changed in the table is more than 15% of the total table
row count</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>If the statistics is determined to be stale, the Statistics Manager
still uses the stale column statistics to answer the questions from the optimizer,
but it also marks the column statistics as stale in the Plan Cache and generates
a request to refresh the statistics.</p>
