  • RE: SQL 2008 sysindexes indid

    derekr 43208 (8/31/2011)


    Thanks

    So, i'm assuming that the index_id columns is the equivalent?

    What do the numbers in that column indicate?

    Did you look in the documentation I mentioned? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173760%28v=SQL.100%29.aspx

  • RE: SQL 2008 sysindexes indid

    Don't use sysindexes for anything in SQL 2008. It's deprecated,will be removed in a future version.

    Use sys.indexes. It's better documented and the columns are better named.

  • RE: When does sql 2008 release "memory"?
