Is it possible to query details on a specific index?

    I know I can get a list of indexes on a table by using SP_HELPINDEX orSYS.INDEXES.  But suppose I want to pick one particular index on a table,and I want to view the contents of that index such as the index values, the rowpointers, the row number the pointer is pointing to, etc.  Is this possible?

    DBCC IND and DBCC PAGE (and google will get you the syntax and details). They're undocumented commands
