Problem

Lets say I have a database FOO for which I created a snapshot (named FOO_snap). Now I'll run thousands of queries on this DB. After that I will revert DB to FOO_snap. Will I lose all of the statistics which were created for these thousand of queries?

Solution

Yes you would:


The original source database is overwritten by the reverted database, so any updates to the database since the snapshot's creation are lost.

and


The metadata of a reverted database is the same as the metadata at the time of the snapshot.

Quotes from Revert a Database to a Database Snapshot in the MSDN Library.
