Remarks

SQL Server query optimization relies, in part, on data distribution statistics maintained on indexes. To aid query optimization, SQL Server can generate data distribution statistics for one or more columns in a table without imposing overhead associated with index maintenance. SQL-DMO implements data distribution statistics creation using the Index object and StatisticsIndex property.
