Statistiques disparaissant / vides au hasard tout au long de la journée

J'ai une base de données SQL Server 2017 (CU9) qui présente des problèmes liés aux performances qui, selon moi, ont à voir avec les statistiques d'index. Lors du dépannage, j'ai découvert que les statistiques n'avaient pas été mises à jour (ce qui signifie que DBCC SHOW_STATISTICS retournerait toutes les valeurs NULL).

J'ai exécuté UPDATE STATISTICS sur la table concernée et vérifié que SHOW_STATISTICS a renvoyé les valeurs réelles à 16 h 00 hier. Ce matin à 8h00, les statistiques étaient à nouveau vides (renvoyant des valeurs NULL).

Le client a une tâche de maintenance planifiée pour s'exécuter quotidiennement à 4 h 00, qui réindexe la base de données suivie d'une exécution de sp_updatestats sur la base de données entière. J'ai vérifié que les statistiques sont mises à jour à 04h00 avec une trace de profileur.

Je ne sais pas pourquoi les statistiques seraient vides, est-ce le travail de maintenance qui s'exécute à 4h00? Y a-t-il un bogue que je ne connais pas sur cette version de SQL Server?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

PLUS D'INFORMATIONS:

• Les statistiques de mise à jour automatique sont activées.
• La mise à jour automatique des statistiques de manière asynchrone est désactivée.
• La création automatique de statistiques incrémentielles est désactivée.

MISE À JOUR: J'ai désactivé les statistiques de mise à jour automatique pour la base de données et mis à jour manuellement les statistiques hier. Ce matin, ils sont toujours peuplés. Je suppose que cela signifie qu'il se passe quelque chose de mal dans la mise à jour automatique.
