dropping all statistics

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a command I can use to drop all system & user
created statistics on a table? And then I can loop through the database and
get rid of all the statistics for the entire database. Thus, if it's not a
command but some SQL code then I can use that too.
I'm running some upgrade scripts for my application and it often fails on
dropping or altering tables based on statistics it doesn't know about.
Thanks,
mattTry below. Untested, just wrote it. Change the PRINT to EXEC(@.sql) to actual
ly execute the DROP
statements:
DECLARE @.tblname sysname, @.statname sysname, @.sql nvarchar(2000)
DECLARE c CURSOR FOR
SELECT object_name(id), name FROM sysindexes WHERE INDEXPROPERTY(id, name, '
IsStatistics') = 1
OPEN c
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @.tblname, @.statname
WHILE @.@.FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @.sql = 'DROP STATISTICS [' + @.tblname + '].[' + @.statname + ']'
PRINT @.sql
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @.tblname, @.statname
END
CLOSE c
DEALLOCATE c

for stats, but I'll take the script. All worked well.
