These four scripts list concise information about all Default, Check, Unique, Foreign Key, and Primary Key constraints for the database in which they are run. With minor column modifications, they could easily be unioned to provide a single list. The usual caveat applies about directly accessing system tables. They may change in future versions and/or […]

This script forms a temporary table containing database and object names and IDS as well as object types for all databases for the server on which this scrip is executed. It is intended to serve as an interim step for additional server wide analysis.

I have added a few indexes to one of my tables in SQL Server 2025:
ALTER TABLE dbo.CustomerContact
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_CustomerContact
PRIMARY KEY (CustomerID);
-- Create index on CustomerEmail
CREATE INDEX IX_CustomerContact_CustomerEmail
ON dbo.CustomerContact (CustomerEmail);
CREATE INDEX IX_CustomerContact_CustomerPhone
ON dbo.CustomerContact (phone);
I then do this to disable one index:
alter index IX_CustomerContact_CustomerPhone on dbo.CustomerContact disableI see this when I check the index status:
I decide to rebuild all indexes with this command:
ALTER INDEX ALL ON dbo.CustomerContact rebuildAfter I do this, what will I see for the index status? See possible answers
