List of all index & index columns in SQL Server DB

How do I get a list of all index & index columns in SQL Server 2005+? The closest I could get is:

select s.name, t.name, i.name, c.name from sys.tables t
inner join sys.schemas s on t.schema_id = s.schema_id
inner join sys.indexes i on i.object_id = t.object_id
inner join sys.index_columns ic on ic.object_id = t.object_id
inner join sys.columns c on c.object_id = t.object_id and
        ic.column_id = c.column_id

where i.index_id > 0    
 and i.type in (1, 2) -- clustered & nonclustered only
 and i.is_primary_key = 0 -- do not include PK indexes
 and i.is_unique_constraint = 0 -- do not include UQ
 and i.is_disabled = 0
 and i.is_hypothetical = 0
 and ic.key_ordinal > 0

order by ic.key_ordinal

Which is not exactly what I want. What I want is, to list all user-defined indexes, (which means no indexes which support unique constraints & primary keys) with all columns (ordered by how do they appear in index definition) plus as much metadata as possible.

The above solution is elegant, but according to MS, INDEXKEY_PROPERTY is being deprecated. See: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186773.aspx
Just note that if you are going to use any of the working queries in the answers here to script your indexes, you need to incorporate filter_definition column from sys.indexes table in your queries to get the filter definition of non-clustered indexes in SQL 2008+ AM
Note that as user3101273 points out below, none of the answers include the index filter (filter_definition column from sys.indexes table).

There are two "sys" catalog views you can consult: sys.indexes and sys.index_columns.

Those will give you just about any info you could possibly want about indices and their columns.

EDIT: This query's getting pretty close to what you're looking for:

SELECT 
     TableName = t.name,
     IndexName = ind.name,
     IndexId = ind.index_id,
     ColumnId = ic.index_column_id,
     ColumnName = col.name,
     ind.*,
     ic.*,
     col.* 
FROM 
     sys.indexes ind 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.index_columns ic ON  ind.object_id = ic.object_id and ind.index_id = ic.index_id 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.columns col ON ic.object_id = col.object_id and ic.column_id = col.column_id 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.tables t ON ind.object_id = t.object_id 
WHERE 
     ind.is_primary_key = 0 
     AND ind.is_unique = 0 
     AND ind.is_unique_constraint = 0 
     AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0 
ORDER BY 
     t.name, ind.name, ind.index_id, ic.is_included_column, ic.key_ordinal;

Yep, I'm aware of these, but I cannot arrange all the required "sys." catalogs so that they will produce meaningful output.
New version is much better, but "and ind.is_unique = 0" is unneccessary: it filters out almost all required data. However, this query still includes too much system data, which I don't know how to get rid of.
@My-Name-Is: the OP wanted to get all user-defined indexes (is_ms_shipped=0), but no primary keys (is_primary_key=0) and no indexes that are created to support unique constraints only (is_unique_constraint=0).
Brilliant. Thank you, from this I can discover not only the clustered primary keys, as other solutions allowed (including the order of the column), but also if one of those columns is DESC not ASC! See in the output 'is_descending_key'
@ZainRizvi the WHERE (1=1) let him chain and reorder his AND ...s without worrying about which was first. See: stackoverflow.com/a/8149183/1160796 and stackoverflow.com/a/242831/1160796

You can use the sp_helpindex to view all the indexes of one table.

EXEC sys.sp_helpindex @objname = N'User' -- nvarchar(77)

And for all the indexes, you can traverse sys.objects to get all the indexes for each table.


Only problem with this is that it only includes the index key columns, not the included columns.

None of the above did the job for me, but this does:

-- KDF9's concise index list for SQL Server 2005+  (see below for 2000)
--   includes schemas and primary keys, in easy to read format
--   with unique, clustered, and all ascending/descendings in a single column
-- Needs simple manual add or delete to change maximum number of key columns
--   but is easy to understand and modify, with no UDFs or complex logic
--

-- For SQL Server 2000 the following should work
--   change table names to sysindexes and sysobjects (no dots)
--   change object_id => id, index_id => indid,
--   change is_primary_key => (select count(constid) from sysconstraints as sc where sc.id=si.id and sc.status&15=1)
--   change is_unique => INDEXPROPERTY(si.id,si.name,'IsUnique')
--   change si.type => INDEXPROPERTY(si.id,si.name,'IsClustered')
--   remove all references to schemas including schema name qualifiers, and the XML type
--   add select where indid<255 and si.status&64=0 (to omit the text/image index and autostats)

If your names include spaces, add square brackets around them in the creation scripts.

When the last Key column is all nulls, you know that none are missing.

Filtering out primary keys etc as in the original request is trivial.

NOTE: Take care with this solution as it doesn't distinguish indexed and included columns.

You need to also join on I.index_id = IC.index_id on the join to sys.index_columns

Thanks, this helps.
This is awesome!
Nice. This is the one help you oversee the columns used by the index in the table. Easy for you to plan on your tuning on index.

I didn't go through, but I got what I wanted in the query posted by the original author.

I used it (without conditions/filters) for my requirement but it gave incorrect results

The main problem was the results getting cross product without join condition on index_id

SELECT S.NAME SCHEMA_NAME,T.NAME TABLE_NAME,I.NAME INDEX_NAME,C.NAME COLUMN_NAME
  FROM SYS.TABLES T
       INNER JOIN SYS.SCHEMAS S
    ON T.SCHEMA_ID = S.SCHEMA_ID
       INNER JOIN SYS.INDEXES I
    ON I.OBJECT_ID = T.OBJECT_ID
       INNER JOIN SYS.INDEX_COLUMNS IC
    ON IC.OBJECT_ID = T.OBJECT_ID
       INNER JOIN SYS.COLUMNS C
    ON C.OBJECT_ID  = T.OBJECT_ID
   **AND IC.INDEX_ID    = I.INDEX_ID**
   AND IC.COLUMN_ID = C.COLUMN_ID
 WHERE 1=1

ORDER BY I.NAME,I.INDEX_ID,IC.KEY_ORDINAL

Following gives what is similar as sp_helpindex tablename

I have needed to get particular indexes, their index columns and their included columns as well. Here is the query I have used:

SELECT INX.[name] AS [Index Name]
      ,TBL.[name] AS [Table Name]
      ,DS1.[IndexColumnsNames]
      ,DS2.[IncludedColumnsNames]
FROM [sys].[indexes] INX
INNER JOIN [sys].[tables] TBL
    ON INX.[object_id] = TBL.[object_id]
CROSS APPLY 
(
    SELECT STUFF
    (
        (
            SELECT ' [' + CLS.[name] + ']'
            FROM [sys].[index_columns] INXCLS
            INNER JOIN [sys].[columns] CLS

                AND INXCLS.[is_included_column] = 0
            FOR XML PATH('')
        )

    )

                ON INXCLS.[object_id] = CLS.[object_id] 
                AND INXCLS.[column_id] = CLS.[column_id]

        )
        ,1
        ,1
        ,''
    ) 
) DS2 ([IncludedColumnsNames])

I have my original create statements and compared them to the output of this query.I can say that this is correctly placing the indexed and included columns, at least for my database.
This script worked for me too. I had an additional requirement to recreate the indices in an identical database elsewhere, so added this to the SELECT to generate the CREATE statements: ,CreateStatement = 'CREATE INDEX [' + INX.[name] + '] ON dbo.[' + TBL.[name] + '] (' + REPLACE(DS1.IndexColumnsNames, '] [', '], [') + ')' + CASE WHEN DS2.IncludedColumnsNames IS NOT NULL THEN ' INCLUDE (' + REPLACE(DS2.IncludedColumnsNames, '] [', '], [') + ')' ELSE '' END.

Based on the accepted answer and two other questions 1, 2 I have assembled the following query:

SELECT
    QUOTENAME(t.name) AS TableName,
    QUOTENAME(i.name) AS IndexName,
    i.is_primary_key,
    i.is_unique,
    i.is_unique_constraint,
    STUFF(REPLACE(REPLACE((
        SELECT QUOTENAME(c.name) + CASE WHEN ic.is_descending_key = 1 THEN ' DESC' ELSE '' END AS [data()]
        FROM sys.index_columns AS ic
        INNER JOIN sys.columns AS c ON ic.object_id = c.object_id AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
        WHERE ic.object_id = i.object_id AND ic.index_id = i.index_id AND ic.is_included_column = 0
        ORDER BY ic.key_ordinal
        FOR XML PATH
    ), '<row>', ', '), '</row>', ''), 1, 2, '') AS KeyColumns,
    STUFF(REPLACE(REPLACE((
        SELECT QUOTENAME(c.name) AS [data()]
        FROM sys.index_columns AS ic
        INNER JOIN sys.columns AS c ON ic.object_id = c.object_id AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
        WHERE ic.object_id = i.object_id AND ic.index_id = i.index_id AND ic.is_included_column = 1
        ORDER BY ic.index_column_id
        FOR XML PATH
    ), '<row>', ', '), '</row>', ''), 1, 2, '') AS IncludedColumns,
    u.user_seeks,
    u.user_scans,
    u.user_lookups,
    u.user_updates
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.indexes AS i ON t.object_id = i.object_id
LEFT JOIN sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats AS u ON i.object_id = u.object_id AND i.index_id = u.index_id
WHERE t.is_ms_shipped = 0
AND i.type <> 0

This query returns results such as below which shows the list of indexes, their columns and usage. Very helpful in determining which index is performing better than others:

KM.

this will work:

DECLARE @IndexInfo  TABLE (index_name         varchar(250)
                          ,index_description  varchar(250)
                          ,index_keys         varchar(250)
                          )

INSERT INTO @IndexInfo
exec sp_msforeachtable 'sp_helpindex ''?'''
select * from @IndexInfo

this does not reurn the table name and you will get warnings for all tables without an index, if that is a problem, you can create a loop over the tables that have indexes like this:

DECLARE @IndexInfoTemp  TABLE (index_name         varchar(250)
                              ,index_description  varchar(250)
                              ,index_keys         varchar(250)
                              )

DECLARE @IndexInfo  TABLE (table_name         sysname
                          ,index_name         varchar(250)
                          ,index_description  varchar(250)
                          ,index_keys         varchar(250)
                          )

DECLARE @Tables Table (RowID       int not null identity(1,1)
                      ,TableName   sysname 
                      )
DECLARE @MaxRow       int
DECLARE @CurrentRow   int
DECLARE @CurrentTable sysname

INSERT INTO @Tables
    SELECT
        DISTINCT t.name 
        FROM sys.indexes i
            INNER JOIN sys.tables t ON i.object_id = t.object_id
        WHERE i.Name IS NOT NULL
SELECT @MaxRow=@@ROWCOUNT,@CurrentRow=1

WHILE @CurrentRow<=@MaxRow
BEGIN

    SELECT @CurrentTable=TableName FROM @Tables WHERE RowID=@CurrentRow

    INSERT INTO @IndexInfoTemp
    exec sp_helpindex @CurrentTable

    INSERT INTO @IndexInfo
            (table_name   , index_name , index_description , index_keys)
        SELECT
            @CurrentTable , index_name , index_description , index_keys
        FROM @IndexInfoTemp

    DELETE FROM @IndexInfoTemp

    SET @CurrentRow=@CurrentRow+1

END --WHILE
SELECT * from @IndexInfo

EDIT if you want, you can filter the data, here are some examples (these work for either method):

SELECT * FROM @IndexInfo WHERE index_description NOT LIKE '%primary key%'
SELECT * FROM @IndexInfo WHERE index_description NOT LIKE '%nonclustered%' AND index_description  LIKE '%clustered%'
SELECT * FROM @IndexInfo WHERE index_description LIKE '%unique%'

Unfortunately it doesn't list the include columns as part of the index definition.
+1 for that. It is worth noting that SQL Server 2000 throws an "EXECUTE cannot be used as a source when inserting into a table variable." error for your code. Using a temporary table instead of a table variable resolves this easily.

and connect.table_name = mx.table_name

order by 1,2,3

This helped me as I was looking for tables, index_name and respective columns
AFAICS index_column_id is not the order of the columns in the PK but in the table! Use key_ordinal instead.

This is a way of backing into the indexes. You can use SHOWCONTIG to assess fragmentation. It will list all of the indexes for the database or table, along with statistics. I would caution that on a large database, it can be long-running. For me, one of the benefits of this approach is that you don't have to be an admin to use it.

--Show fragmentation info on all indexes in a database

SET NOCOUNT ON
USE pubs
DBCC SHOWCONTIG WITH ALL_INDEXES
GO

...turn NOCOUNT back OFF when done

--Show fragmentation info on all indexes on a table

SET NOCOUNT ON
USE pubs
DBCC SHOWCONTIG (authors) WITH ALL_INDEXES
GO

--Show fragmentation information on a specific index

SET NOCOUNT ON
USE pubs
DBCC SHOWCONTIG (authors,aunmind)
GO

This will produce plain-text output, which is not an option for me: I need to import the result into a C# app, so parsing plaintext is the last thing I want to do.
You're right, this isn't the solution for your situation. I'll be watching for the ultimate solution. You came up with a challenging and interesting question.

I came up with this one, which is giving me the exact overview I need. What is helps is that you get one row per index into which the index columns are aggregated.

select 
    o.name as ObjectName, 
    i.name as IndexName, 
    i.is_primary_key as [PrimaryKey],
    SUBSTRING(i.[type_desc],0,6) as IndexType,
    i.is_unique as [Unique],
    Columns.[Normal] as IndexColumns,
    Columns.[Included] as IncludedColumns
from sys.indexes i 
join sys.objects o on i.object_id = o.object_id
cross apply
(
    select
        substring
        (
            (
                select ', ' + co.[name]
                from sys.index_columns ic
                join sys.columns co on co.object_id = i.object_id and co.column_id = ic.column_id
                where ic.object_id = i.object_id and ic.index_id = i.index_id and ic.is_included_column = 0
                order by ic.key_ordinal
                for xml path('')
            )
            , 3
            , 10000
        )    as [Normal]

May I hazard another answer to this saturated question?

This is a liberal reworking of @marc_s answer, mixed with some stuff from @Tim Ford, with the goal of having a bit of a cleaner and simpler result set and final display and ordering for my current need.

This is mine, works on one default schema but it can be easily improved It gives 3 columnns with SQLQueries - Create / Drop / Rebuild (no reorganizing)

Query:

Thanks. Schema was simple to add. The CREATE statement doesn't work for columnstore indexes, but this is a great starting point for what I need.
This is exactly what I am trying to create. Don't mind if I steal this snippet :)

based on Tim Ford code, this is the right answer:

  select tab.[name]  as [table_name],
         idx.[name]  as [index_name],
         allc.[name] as [column_name],
         idx.[type_desc],
         idx.[is_unique],
         idx.[data_space_id],
         idx.[ignore_dup_key],
         idx.[is_primary_key],
         idx.[is_unique_constraint],
         idx.[fill_factor],
         idx.[is_padded],
         idx.[is_disabled],
         idx.[is_hypothetical],
         idx.[allow_row_locks],
         idx.[allow_page_locks],
         idxc.[is_descending_key],
         idxc.[is_included_column],
         idxc.[index_column_id]

     from sys.[tables] as tab

    inner join sys.[indexes]       idx  on tab.[object_id] =  idx.[object_id]
    inner join sys.[index_columns] idxc on idx.[object_id] = idxc.[object_id] and  idx.[index_id]  = idxc.[index_id]
    inner join sys.[all_columns]   allc on tab.[object_id] = allc.[object_id] and idxc.[column_id] = allc.[column_id]

    where tab.[name] Like '%table_name%'
      and idx.[name] Like '%index_name%'
    order by tab.[name], idx.[index_id], idxc.[index_column_id]

AFAICS index_column_id is not the order of the columns in the PK but in the table! Use key_ordinal instead.

Since your profile states that you are using .NET you could use Server Managed Objects (SMO) programmatically... otherwise any of the above answers are fantastic.


I personally find SMO to be terribly slow.

First, please note that all the above queries may miss out or erroneously incorporate the INCLUDE columns of the indices. Also missing in some is the proper ordering and/or ASC/DESC option of the columns.

Modified the above query by jona. As an aside, in many of the database I use, I install my own CLR CONCATENATE aggregate function, so the code below depends on something like this being present. The above SQL statements reduce to a much more maintainable:

SELECT
  s.[name] AS [schema_name]
, t.[name] AS [table_name]
, i.[name] AS [index_name]
, dbo.Concatenate(CASE WHEN ic.[key_ordinal] > 0 AND ic.[is_descending_key] = 1 THEN c.[name] + ' DESC' WHEN key_ordinal > 0 THEN c.[name] ELSE NULL END,',',1) AS [columns]
, dbo.Concatenate(CASE WHEN ic.[is_included_column] = 1 THEN c.[name] ELSE NULL END,',',1) AS [includes]
FROM
  sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
  sys.schemas s ON t.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
INNER JOIN
  sys.indexes i ON i.[object_id] = t.[object_id]
INNER JOIN
  sys.index_columns ic ON ic.[object_id] = t.[object_id] AND ic.index_id = i.index_id
INNER JOIN
  sys.columns c ON c.[object_id] = t.[object_id] AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
GROUP BY
  s.[name]
, t.[name]
, i.[name]
ORDER BY
  s.[name]
, t.[name]
, i.[name]

There are lots of concatenation aggregates out there if your environment allows CLR-based functions added to it.

For unique columns per index:

select s.name, t.name, i.name, i.index_id,c.name,c.column_id
 from sys.schemas s
inner join sys.tables t on t.schema_id = s.schema_id
inner join sys.indexes i on i.object_id = t.object_id
inner join sys.index_columns ic on ic.object_id = t.object_id
    and ic.index_id=i.index_id
inner join sys.columns c on c.object_id = t.object_id 
    and ic.column_id = c.column_id
where i.object_id = object_id('previous.account_1')  
order by index_id,column_id

Here is the best way to do it:

SELECT sys.tables.object_id, sys.tables.name as table_name, sys.columns.name as column_name, sys.indexes.name as index_name,
sys.indexes.is_unique, sys.indexes.is_primary_key 
FROM sys.tables, sys.indexes, sys.index_columns, sys.columns 
WHERE (sys.tables.object_id = sys.indexes.object_id AND sys.tables.object_id = sys.index_columns.object_id AND sys.tables.object_id = sys.columns.object_id
AND sys.indexes.index_id = sys.index_columns.index_id AND sys.index_columns.column_id = sys.columns.column_id) 
AND sys.tables.name = 'your_table_name'

I prefer using implicit joins as it's much easier for me to understand. You can remove the object_id reference as you might not need it.

Cheers.

Using SQL Server 2016, this gives a complete list of all indexes, with an included dump of each table so you can see how the tables relate. It also shows columns included in covering indexes:

select t.name TableName, i.name IdxName, c.name ColName
    , ic.index_column_id ColPosition
    , i.type_desc Type
    , case when i.is_primary_key = 1 then 'Yes' else '' end [Primary?]
    , case when i.is_unique = 1 then 'Yes' else '' end [Unique?]
    , case when ic.is_included_column = 0 then '' else 'Yes - Included' end [CoveredColumn?]
    , 'indexes >>>>' [*indexes*], i.*, 'index_columns >>>>' [*index_columns*]
    , ic.*, 'tables >>>>' [*tables*]
    , t.*, 'columns >>>>' [*columns*], c.*
from sys.index_columns ic
join sys.tables t on t.object_id = ic.object_id
join sys.columns c on c.object_id = t.object_id and c.column_id = ic.column_id
join sys.indexes i on i.object_id = t.object_id and i.index_id = ic.index_id
order by TableName, IdxName, ColPosition

AFAICS index_column_id is not the order of the columns in the PK but in the table! Use key_ordinal instead.

I have used the following query when I had this requirement...

SELECT 
    TableName = t.name,
    ColumnId = col.column_id, 
    ColumnName = col.name,
    DataType = ty.name,
    MaxSize = ty.max_length,
    IsNullable = CASE WHEN (col.is_nullable = 1) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsIdentity = CASE WHEN (col.is_identity = 1) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsPrimaryKey = CASE WHEN (ic.column_id = col.column_id) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsForeignKey = CASE WHEN (fkc.parent_column_id = col.column_id) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsDefault = CASE WHEN (dc.parent_column_id = col.column_id) THEN 'Y' END
FROM 
    sys.tables t
INNER JOIN 
     sys.columns col ON t.object_id = col.object_id 
LEFT JOIN
    sys.indexes ind ON t.object_id = ind.object_id 
LEFT JOIN 
     sys.index_columns ic ON ic.index_id=ind.index_id AND ic.object_id = col.object_id and ic.column_id = col.column_id
LEFT JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
                ON fkc.parent_object_id = col.object_id AND fkc.parent_column_id=col.column_id
LEFT JOIN sys.default_constraints dc
                ON dc.parent_object_id = col.object_id AND dc.parent_column_id=col.column_id
LEFT JOIN
     sys.types ty on ty.user_type_id = col.user_type_id

WHERE
    --t.name='<TABLENAME>'
    t.schema_id = 10    --SCHEMA ID
    AND ind.is_primary_key=1    
ORDER BY
    t.name, ColumnId

Working solution for SQL Server 2014. I have included only a handful of output fields here but feel free to add in as many as you like.

SELECT
    o.object_id AS objectId
    ,o.name AS objectName
    ,i.index_id AS indexId
    ,i.name AS indexName
    ,i.type_desc AS typeDesc
    ,ic.index_column_id AS indexColumnId
    ,ic.key_ordinal AS keyOrdinal
    ,ic.is_included_column AS isIncludedColumn
    ,ic.column_id AS columnId
    ,c.name AS columnName
FROM {database}.sys.objects AS o
    INNER JOIN {database}.sys.columns AS c ON
        c.object_id = o.object_id
        AND o.type = 'U'
    INNER JOIN {database}.sys.indexes AS i ON
        i.object_id = o.object_id
    INNER JOIN {database}.sys.index_columns AS ic ON
        ic.object_id = i.object_id
        AND ic.index_id = i.index_id
        AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
ORDER BY
    o.object_id
    ,i.index_id
    ,ic.index_column_id

I gave KFD9's answer an update.

I adapted their version to support the include-specification and not make use of indexkey_property which is deprecated

This gives you a create and a drop statement for indexes and constraints.

with indexes as (

      schema_name(schema_id) as SchemaName, OBJECT_NAME(si.object_id) as TableName, si.name as IndexName,

The correct One is here (All the above posts will give Cartesian product result when we have more then one index on a table)

select s.name, t.name, i.name, c.name from sys.tables t
inner join sys.schemas s on t.schema_id = s.schema_id
inner join sys.indexes i on i.object_id = t.object_id
inner join sys.index_columns ic on ic.object_id = t.object_id 
                                  AND i.index_id = ic.index_id
inner join sys.columns c on c.object_id = t.object_id 
                                  and  ic.column_id = c.column_id
where i.index_id > 0    
 and i.type in (1, 2) -- clustered & nonclustered only
 and i.is_primary_key = 0 -- do not include PK indexes
 and i.is_unique_constraint = 0 -- do not include UQ
 and i.is_disabled = 0
 and i.is_hypothetical = 0
 and ic.key_ordinal > 0
 AND  t.name = 'DimCustomer'
order by ic.key_ordinal

select i.object_id, i.name as [index] , STRING_AGG(c.name,', ') as [column], o.name as [table] from sys.indexes i
INNER join sys.index_columns ic on ic.object_id = i.object_id and ic.index_id = i.index_id
INNER join sys.columns c on c.object_id = ic.object_id and ic.column_id = c.column_id
INNER JOIN sys.objects o on o.object_id = i.object_id
where i.object_id > 100 and i.is_primary_key = 0 and i.is_unique = 0 and o.is_ms_shipped <> 1
group by i.object_id, i.name, o.name
order by i.name

Take this for sql 2016 and higher it shows you object_id, indexname, columns and tablename for non unique and no primary keys
