Dropping and recreating all statistics

I am having deadlock problems and I have noticed that on one table dropping
the statistics and recreating them helped. Is there a script or an easy way
to do this

On some servers I regularly rebuild all indexes (which also updates the
stats) and then issue DBCC FREEPROCCACHE to completely refresh the system.

where on the table. What I want to do is delete all statistics on all tables
and them create them on all indexes and colums. I have 10,000 tables so I am
looking for a script.

stats on tables.
The Indexes should all have stats which will get updated using DBCC
DBREINDEX.
If you want to check that the stats have been updated, run DBCC
SHOW_STATISTICS:
eg: DBCC SHOW_STATISTICS ('District','pk_district')
The first column is called 'Updated' and has the date and time of the
update.

and recreate the statistics. And what does sp_updatestats create statistics
on.
I was not aware that update stats would create statistics on something but
that it would only update them. and on top of that it will only update them
if they are out of date.

database - as far as I know this means that the statblob column is updated
in sysindexes. It doesn't create statistics on columns where there weren't
any previously existing. For indexes there'll already be statistics, and
there'll also be stats for those columns which have been explicitly created
(CREATE STATISTICS). If the key values for indexes have changed a lot or if
there is a significant change in the amount of data in the table then
updating the statistics is useful, and also recompiling the associated
stored procedures whose plans will be inaccurate.
HTH,
