SQL : View Table Index Data

SQL : View Table Indexes

The following SQL will show index related information for a specific table within the local database context, this data will contain the index name and indexed fields:

EXEC sp_helpindex ‘messages’

You can view index fragmentation data on a per table basis using the command:

DBCC SHOWCONTIG tablename

For a more easy-to-read fragmentation report using the following query which will display indexes fragmented more than 40%, if you wish to modify the display criteria change the line highlighted in red (WHERE LogicalFrag > 40):

SET NOCOUNT ON
