Database Administrators Asked on October 28, 2021
I have seen a couple of scripts that query some sys.someName
tables to find usage of indexes in a database. My guess is that these tables are tied to a database e.g. there is a sys.indexes
table in every database. But where can I see these tables in SSMS? Or are all these tables in the msdb
database?
An example of a script I have found is this. Of course when I change the context of the database the result set changes also but I cannot find these tables in SSMS.
SELECT Tab.name Table_Name
,IX.name Index_Name
,IX.type_desc Index_Type
,Col.name Index_Column_Name
,IXC.is_included_column Is_Included_Column
FROM sys.indexes IX
INNER JOIN sys.index_columns IXC ON IX.object_id = IXC.object_id AND IX.index_id = IXC.index_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns Col ON IX.object_id = Col.object_id AND IXC.column_id = Col.column_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables Tab ON IX.object_id = Tab.object_id
