Use the Run Statistics window to update system catalog statistics on the
data in a table, the data in the table's indexes, or the data in both the
table and its indexes. The optimizer uses these statistics to choose
which path will be used to access the data.
In general, you want to update statistics if there have been extensive
changes to the data in the table.
