在 Azure SQL 数据仓库上自动更新列级统计信息

Question

我计划在我的 Azure SQL 数据仓库数据库上自动刷新（即更新）列级统计信息。我计划在特定站点 table 中记录操作，然后使用以下方法动态生成 SQL 以刷新统计信息：

DATE 列每天刷新，
ID/code primary/foreign-key 列每两周刷新一次，
Indicator/boolean 列每月刷新一次，
QTY/AMT（事实）列每季度刷新一次。

我查看了 https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms190330.aspx 中的 STATS_DATE 函数，但该函数似乎不支持列级统计所需的详细信息。例如，我的 table 之一的输出具有三列，其中收集了统计信息，对于 STATS_DATE:

显示 NULL

SELECT 
  s.object_id,
  s.name,
  s.stats_id,
  s.user_created,
  STATS_DATE(object_id, stats_id) AS statistics_date  
FROM sys.stats s 
where object_id = 107141;

Returns

  object_id         name                   stats_id user_created statistics_date
 107,141            MySchema_MyTable_Col1         2         1          [NULL]
 107,141            MySchema_MyTable_Col2         3         1          [NULL]
 107,141            MySchema_MyTable_Col3         4         1          [NULL]

我是否忽略或误解了此功能，我是否应该能够使用 STATS_DATE 来管理我的列的统计信息？

下面是更完整的演示：

 --Create a columnar demonstration table
 create table My_Schema.steve_test_table_columnar (c1_c integer, c2_c smallint,   c3_c date, c4_c decimal(18,2) ) ; 
--Create a heap demonstration table
create table My_Schema.steve_test_table_heap (c1_h integer, c2_h smallint, c3_h date, c4_h decimal(18,2) ) with (HEAP) ;

-CREATE STATISTICS statements:
CREATE STATISTICS My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C1_C ON My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( C1_C ) ;
CREATE STATISTICS My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C2_C ON My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( C2_C ) ;
CREATE STATISTICS My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C3_C ON My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( C3_C ) ;
CREATE STATISTICS My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C4_C ON My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( C4_C ) ;
CREATE STATISTICS My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP_C1_H ON My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP ( C1_H ) ;

CREATE STATISTICS My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP_C3_H ON My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP ( C3_H ) ;
CREATE STATISTICS My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP_C4_H ON My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP ( C4_H ) ;

--UPDATE (aka "REFRESH") STATISTICS statements:
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C3_C ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP_C3_H ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C2_C ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP_C2_H ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C1_C ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C1_C ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP_C1_H ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_COLUMNAR_C4_C ) ;
UPDATE STATISTICS My_Schema.STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP ( My_Schema_STEVE_TEST_TABLE_HEAP_C4_H ) ;

Answer 1

我确认如果加载了表，STATS_DATE(id,id) 的 return 值不为空。我的实验只涉及创建表格。
