Importing Indexes from one Server to another

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to export indexes that I have created on one server to another but I don't seem to find a task that does the job. I can export data for all other Database objects but I don't seem to find a way to export Indexes. Would someone let me know if it is any way possible to achieve this task.

    Thank you

    take a look at the posts in this discussion; it has a community contribution to script all indexes as CREATE INDEX statementing:

    as far as the GUI goes, i think you can include indexes if you script the table, but you ar enot able to script indexes all by themselves.

    Depending on what tools you have available you could do some sorta of Schema Comparison. Visual Studio 2010/08 work well for that sort of thing.

    Red Gate's SQL Compare will not do this. It looks at the tables, but I'll ask and see if there's an option, or file a bug.
