• Gail, the quick response is much appreciated. Also, nice presentation at PASS 2008.

    The primary key is actually non-clustered, and I'm trying to delete a clustered index that's on the same column as the PK. I tried dropping the foreign key constraints which I found using:

    select *

    from sys.sysobjects

    where xtype = 'F'

    But I apparently didn't get them all because I was still not able to drop either index. FKs aren't enforced across databases are they?

    I created the clustered index for testing purposes but found that it causes the CPU usage to soar, so I'm trying to drop it.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks again,

    Nate
