Forhindrer statistik, der refererer til en kolonne, den kolonne i at blive slettet?

Koden foreslået i JNK-svaret virker ikke, men ideen er god. Hvis du vil slette al brugerskabt statistik, er denne min testede løsning:

DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE statCursor CURSOR FOR 
SELECT 
    'DROP STATISTICS ' + QUOTENAME(SCHEMA_NAME(t.schema_id)) 
                        + '.' + QUOTENAME(t.name) 
                        + '.' + QUOTENAME(st.name) AS sql
FROM
    sys.stats AS st 
    INNER JOIN sys.tables AS t
        ON st.object_id = t.object_id
WHERE
    st.user_created = 1
ORDER BY 1;

OPEN statCursor;

FETCH NEXT FROM statCursor INTO @sql
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0  
BEGIN  
    PRINT @sql
    EXEC sp_executesql @sql
    FETCH NEXT FROM statCursor INTO @sql
END  
CLOSE statCursor  
DEALLOCATE statCursor
