sp_helpindex2

,

Execute the complete script after connecting to SSMS. Ensure you have SYSADMIN priviledges.

 

Once done, you can use sp_helpindex2 instead of sp_helpindex.

use master 
go
alter procedure dbo.sp_helpindex2
@objname nvarchar(776)-- the table to check for indexes
as
/*
Original Script - Microsoft Corporation

Modified by - Girish Sumaria - girish.sumaria@gmail.com

Information - The sp_helpindex only provides the list of columns in the index and not the INCLUDED COLUMNS.
In order to retrieve complete index information, I have modified the original code so that 
you can now retrieve INCLUDED COLUMNS list as well. Also, the index type can be retrived separately.

Tip from my fellow Database Developer - Prasant Nanda - prasant.nanda@gmail.com
Ensure that you mark this procedure as a SYSTEM PROCEDURE to leverage its use from all databases.
