Estimating the size on a non-clustered index

    Does anyone have a query (or some other way) to estimate the size of any potential non-clustered index before it's created?

    There is an exception to every rule, except this one...

    Google exactly what the title of this thread is. The first two entries returned will take you to the instructions in Books Online for how to do such a thing. From that, you could write a simple query.

    estimating the size of a nonclustered index.

    I didn't check any further than that. If you check some of the other entries, someone has probably already written a query for such a thing.
