• Hi,

    Index A is indeed in use as Gila suggested earlier.

    Index B not being used for query, but it may be important if it is clustered index or Primary Key.

    I use below query to evaluate how usefull is my index.

    SELECT OBJECT_NAME(s.[object_id]) AS [Table Name], i.name AS [Index Name], i.index_id,

    user_updates AS [Total Writes], user_seeks + user_scans + user_lookups AS [Total Reads],

    user_updates - (user_seeks + user_scans + user_lookups) AS [Difference]

    FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats AS s WITH (NOLOCK)

    INNER JOIN sys.indexes AS i WITH (NOLOCK)

    ON s.[object_id] = i.[object_id]

    AND i.index_id = s.index_id

    WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(s.[object_id],'IsUserTable') = 1

    AND s.database_id = DB_ID()

    AND user_updates > (user_seeks + user_scans + user_lookups)

    AND i.index_id > 1

    ORDER BY [Difference] DESC, [Total Writes] DESC, [Total Reads] ASC;
