This script combines functionality of sp_helpindex and sp_spaceused to list all tables with individual indexes, their keys and description (sp_spaceused cannot do that) and size in MB per individual index (sp_helpindex cannot do that either). Feel free to use and modify as you see fit. Hope it can help.

There is a great article on SQLServerCentral on an Extended Stored Procedure http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/mcoles/freeencryption.asp and this XP will undoubtedly perform better than my Function. However I had a need to encrypt a column in a shared hosted environment where I was not allowed to install XPs. Just copy script and paste into Query Analyzer
