Cannot create more than 249 nonclustered indices or column statistics on one table

  • We have vendor attempting to create an index on a table that currently contains a single index.  They are getting the message: cannot create more than 249 nonclustered indices or column statistics on one table. Any ideas?

  • There could be too many statistics.

    sp_helpstats shows the statistics on the table.

  • If you prefer seeing it from Enterpise Manager, change the view to Taskpad, Select the Table Info tab and Scroll down or Next to the table desired.  All of the indexes for a table are listed after it including the ones created automatically for statistics (begin with _WA).
