Last updated date for statistics?

There is many ways to get his information; however in most cases you get information for a single table. If you want to get it for all statistics in a database, how to do it? We can use the STATS_DATE function to get this information. Here is a simple query …

SELECT  OBJECT_NAME(s.OBJECT_ID)         AS TableName
      , s.name                           AS StatisticsName
      , STATS_DATE(s.OBJECT_ID,stats_id) AS LastUpdated
 FROM sys.stats s
 JOIN sys.tables t ON s.OBJECT_ID = t.OBJECT_ID

You can use this query to control what stats to build based on whent hey were last built.  With the change windows being small in some organization, you might not be able to rebuild all stats every week.  Specially for larger tables with large sample size; in which case basing your builds on Last Updated date will be helpful.
