Answer / guest
This command is basically used when we do a large processing
of data. If we do a large amount of deletions any
modification or Bulk Copy into the tables, we need to
basically update the indexes to take these changes into
account. UPDATE_STATISTICS updates the indexes on these
tables accordingly.

That command is used to rebuild indexes on tables, which
can speed up queries. You might want want to do it whenever
a large amount of data has been deleted or added. It can be
complicated to determine whether it is more efficient to do
this, or to just let the statistics rebuild automatically
so, as usual, testing is called for in each individual case
to get optimal performance.

There are three scenarios where you need to fire the update
statistics
1. Query execution times are slow.
2. Insert Operations Occur on Ascending or Descending Key
Columns
3. After Maintenance Operations - Operations that change the
*distribution of data" such as truncating a table or
performing a bulk insert of a large percentage of the rows.
