Statistics for the indexes

Select one of the following radio buttons to specify whether and how you want the table indexes' statistics updated:

Do not update
Statistics for the table's indexes are not updated. This is the default.

Update without extended index statistics
Basic-level statistics are collected on the indexes. An example of a basic-level statistic is the number of index leaf pages.

Update with extended index statistics
Basic-level and detailed statistics are collected for the indexes. The detailed statistics can help the optimizer better estimate the I/O cost of an index scan.

An example of a detailed statistic is the number of I/Os needed to read the data pages into buffer pools of various sizes.

Note:You cannot gather statistics during the load process if you selected Insert or Restart for the Load mode field on the Counts page of the Load notebook.
