We have a table which has close to 400 columns, about 950 million rows and 3400+ partitions. There are 4 statistics created with indexes and another 40+ column statistics. When I tried updating all statistics on the table I noticed sql server is updating single statistics at a time, if I send multiple update statistics command they are blocking each other. The sql server is running 2012 enterprise.
Is there any way I can update all statistics in the table in a single table scan and using as many threads as it needs to update all statistics at once instead of scanning the table for each statistic?
Thank you
