  We have a group of DBA's all acrosds the US and they all have access to the PROD servers. We had a huge table (88 mill rows) mysteriously get 10 indexes added to it and noone will own up to doing it. Is there a SQL statement of dynamic view to see who created indexes on a server

  From the management studio, right-click the database and/or server in question and select the reports option, and the Schema Changes History report. Here is the T-SQL if you would like to filter 😀
