Rowguid - index in system table

Hi,
I am dealing with merge replication.
The missing statistics event points out [MSmerge_tombstone].[rowguid] in all
our databases. Noticed that no specific index for rowguid created in
[MSmerge_tombstone] table specific on this column.
We would like to know why there is no index created on this column.Do we
need to manually create this index?
Does this missing statistics is an indication of potential problem. If so
what could be the corrective action(s) ?
Thanks,
Soura
indexes are only used if the table is greater than 100 pages. This means
that if more than 1500 rows exist in your tombstone table it would benefit
for queries which are done on the rowguid column alone.
The most significant column in the queries is the generation column and also
on the tablenick and rowguid columns. There are indexes on these columns.
Which queries/procs are complaining about the missing statistics? Does
autocreate and auto update statistics help with the performance of this
database?
Also note that by default the metadata tables are cleaned up each time the
merge agent runs so they should be small.
