In post SQL Server CE: Multiple single-column statistics, I discussed how SQL Server calculates Multiple single-column statistics. I’m going to talk about the ‘multiple-columns statistics’ today.
Here are examples , adventure 2019 OLTP database is used in this example
——- Data manipulation——————————————-
alter database [AdventureWorks2019] set compatibility_level=150
go
use [AdventureWorks2019]
go
if exists(select 1 from sys.tables where name=’SalesOrderDetail’)
drop table SalesOrderDetail
go
select * into SalesOrderDetail from Sales.SalesOrderDetail—- import all the data into new table SalesOrderDetail.
Go
–Create two statistics explicitly. The first statistics has two columns
create statistics I_ProductID_UnitPrice on SalesOrderDetail(ProductID,UnitPrice) with fullscan
create statistics I_UnitPrice on SalesOrderDetail(UnitPrice)
