Find Unindexed Foreign Keys (2005)

,

This script will find foreign keys (on referencing table) that are not indexed.  It looks for exact definition of index matching columns and order.

User should decide if index intersection from other indexes are sufficient, e.g., individual indexes on each column of a foreign key.
