  Is there a way to list the unique table constraints on a given table using smo/powershell?

  Or do I have to query the system views?

  Thanks!

  Would something like this work?

  [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | Out-Null

  $s = new-object ("Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server") "SERVERNAME"

  $d = $s.Databases | ?{$_.Name -eq "Sandbox"}

  $t = $d.Tables | ?{$_.Name -eq "Table1"}

  $t.Indexes | ?{$_.IsUnique} | Select Name

  That does get them, but also returns the PK, which in my case I want to ignore.

  I was hoping there was some property or combination of properties in SMO.... And I just found it:

  $t.Indexes | ? {$_.IndexKeyType -eq "DriUniqueKey"}

  Thanks!
