WE have a database named DM on a test system and production system. All the indexes got lost in the test system somehow. Is there a way i can copy the indexes from the production system to the test system like I know you can with data?

Thanks

You can script and recreate the indexes. Go into enterprise manager on the prod box, and right click on the database. Choose all tasks, generate SQL Script. Then just tick "all tables". In formatting deslect everything, and in options tick "script indexes". Then go back to general and click "preview". Copy the data in the clipboard and use appropriately.
