We have Rebuild indexes job for all databases every weekend. We have AUTO_Update statistics turned on.

Question:

1) Should we update statistics for all databases every night?

There is minimal data changes (like 5 %). Any good knowledge? what you guys doing for production server?

index rebuild already has full statistics done.
note that index defrag doesn't NOT update stats.
