Enabling an index is similar to create a new one.
Disable indexes have the advantage of appearing in the schema... But to be
honest I don't find them very useful...
Update statistics may or may not be influenced by this... To be honest I don't
know, but I assume that LOW stats are not collected for disabled indexes... Itsimply doesn't make sense, since these indexes are never used...
If I didn't catch your idea completely please insist.
