Explanation:
Box 1: UPDATE STATISTICS
Box 2: SAMPLE 20 PERCENT
UPDATE STATISTICS tablenameSAMPLE number { PERCENT | ROWS }
Specifies the approximate percentage or number of rows in the table or indexed view for the query optimizer to
use when it updates statistics. For PERCENT, number can be from 0 through 100 and for ROWS, number can
be from0 to the total number of rows.
Box 3: UPDATE STATISTICS
Box 4: WITH FULLSCAN
