    I'm looking for an explanation for some of the abreviations.

    pk is Primary Key

    ak is Unique Constraints ??

    udx is Unique Index

    idx is non unique index

    "+" means that the field is an included field in the index

    The numbers:

    x.y

    where x means the "index number" (what is this?)

    and y means the Index Column ID

    The sproc does a good job in showing the relationship between indexing and FK.

    Thank you.

    Best regards,

    PK = Primary Key

    AK = Alternate Key

    UDX = Unique Index

    IDX = Non-Unique Index

    + = Included column

    x.y = Index#.Column#

    I still use this before each release as a sanity check to spot redundant or missing indexes.
