Weird. I'm not a DBA so I likely didn't really understand, but I executed this:

select * from sys.indexes -- returned 159 rows

I then executed the first statement (CREATE TABLE) and again executed:

select * from sys.indexes -- returned 159 rows

Finally, I executed the second statement (CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX ) and again executed:

select * from sys.indexes -- returned 159 rows

The count of rows in sys.indexes didn't change from the first execution.

Did you execute the statements in the correct database context?

I executed the DDL statements against my test database, and the DML statements against master.

I executed the DDL statements against my test database, and the DML statements against master.

Then you get the index information of the master database.
