Script all indexes as CREATE INDEX statements
this script will generate CREATE index statements for all indexes in the database;
there are already scripts out there that script constraints for primary keys and unique constraints, which automatically create an index behind the scenes. but what about the other indexes?
uncomment two statements in order to filter out primary keys and Unique indexes so you can get all the other types,
SELECT TOP 100
REPLICATE(' ',4000) AS COLNAMES ,
OBJECT_NAME(I.ID) AS TABLENAME,
I.ID AS TABLEID,
I.INDID AS INDEXID,
I.NAME AS INDEXNAME,
I.STATUS,
INDEXPROPERTY (I.ID,I.NAME,'ISUNIQUE') AS ISUNIQUE,
INDEXPROPERTY (I.ID,I.NAME,'ISCLUSTERED') AS ISCLUSTERED,
INDEXPROPERTY (I.ID,I.NAME,'INDEXFILLFACTOR') AS INDEXFILLFACTOR
INTO #TMP
FROM SYSINDEXES I
WHERE I.INDID > 0
AND I.INDID < 255
AND (I.STATUS & 64)=0
--uncomment below to eliminate PK or UNIQUE indexes;
--what i call 'normal' indexes
--AND INDEXPROPERTY (I.ID,I.NAME,'ISUNIQUE') =0
--AND INDEXPROPERTY (I.ID,I.NAME,'ISCLUSTERED') =0
