Hi,

Can someone point me to where I can find out if an SQL server table has an index ? I was in enterprise manager and brought up properties for any given table but was unable to find the information.

Thanks,
Jeff

Right-click on table, select "All Tasks - Manage Indexes".

Also, in Design mode, you can click the second icon from the right.

Or in query analyser use sp_helpindex <tblname>

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Whoever said "A picture is worth a thousand words" never saw a Windows icon. I fear that someday we will be asked to describe ourselves on resumes using no more than 256 colors on a bitmap of 16 x 16 pixels.

With the handle "blindman" you could just use an all black icon, but what are the rest of us going to do? Fortunately we'll be able to "license" an icon from Microsoft for a "nominal" fee.
