List all indexes with keys, description and size

  • Script

This script combines functionality of sp_helpindex and sp_spaceused to list all tables with individual indexes, their keys and description  (sp_spaceused cannot do that) and size in MB per individual index (sp_helpindex cannot do that either). Feel free to use and modify as you see fit. Hope it can help.

Question of the Day

Fun with JSON I

I have some data in a table:

CREATE TABLE #test_data
(
    id INT PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(100),
    birth_date DATE
);

-- Step 2: Insert rows  
INSERT INTO #test_data
VALUES
(1, 'Olivia', '2025-01-05'),
(2, 'Emma', '2025-03-02'),
(3, 'Liam', '2025-11-15'),
(4, 'Noah', '2025-12-22');
If I run this query, how many rows are returned?
SELECT *
FROM OPENJSON(
     (
         SELECT t.* FROM #test_data AS t FOR JSON PATH
     )
             ) t;
