Lista de todas las columnas de índice e índice en DB de SQL Server

¿Cómo obtengo una lista de todas las columnas de índice e índice en SQL Server 2005+? Lo más cerca que pude llegar es:

select s.name, t.name, i.name, c.name from sys.tables t
inner join sys.schemas s on t.schema_id = s.schema_id
inner join sys.indexes i on i.object_id = t.object_id
inner join sys.index_columns ic on ic.object_id = t.object_id
inner join sys.columns c on c.object_id = t.object_id and
        ic.column_id = c.column_id

where i.index_id > 0    
 and i.type in (1, 2) -- clustered & nonclustered only
 and i.is_primary_key = 0 -- do not include PK indexes
 and i.is_unique_constraint = 0 -- do not include UQ
 and i.is_disabled = 0
 and i.is_hypothetical = 0
 and ic.key_ordinal > 0

order by ic.key_ordinal

Que no es exactamente lo que quiero.
Lo que quiero es enumerar todos los índices definidos por el usuario (lo que significa que no hay índices que admitan restricciones únicas y claves principales ) con todas las columnas (ordenadas por cómo aparecen en la definición del índice) más tantos metadatos como sea posible.

Hay dos vistas de catálogo "sys" que puede consultar:

select * from sys.indexes

select * from sys.index_columns

Esos le darán casi cualquier información que pueda desear sobre los índices y sus columnas.

EDITAR: esta consulta se está acercando bastante a lo que está buscando:

SELECT 
     TableName = t.name,
     IndexName = ind.name,
     IndexId = ind.index_id,
     ColumnId = ic.index_column_id,
     ColumnName = col.name,
     ind.*,
     ic.*,
     col.* 
FROM 
     sys.indexes ind 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.index_columns ic ON  ind.object_id = ic.object_id and ind.index_id = ic.index_id 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.columns col ON ic.object_id = col.object_id and ic.column_id = col.column_id 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.tables t ON ind.object_id = t.object_id 
WHERE 
     ind.is_primary_key = 0 
     AND ind.is_unique = 0 
     AND ind.is_unique_constraint = 0 
     AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0 
ORDER BY 
     t.name, ind.name, ind.index_id, ic.index_column_id;

Puede usar sp_helpindexpara ver todos los índices de una tabla.

EXEC sys.sp_helpindex @objname = N'User' -- nvarchar(77)

Y para todos los índices, puede recorrer sys.objectspara obtener todos los índices para cada tabla.

Ninguno de los anteriores hizo el trabajo para mí, pero esto sí:

-- KDF9's concise index list for SQL Server 2005+  (see below for 2000)

-- For SQL Server 2000 the following should work
--   change table names to sysindexes and sysobjects (no dots)
--   change object_id => id, index_id => indid,
--   change is_primary_key => (select count(constid) from sysconstraints as sc where sc.id=si.id and sc.status&15=1)
--   change is_unique => INDEXPROPERTY(si.id,si.name,'IsUnique')
--   change si.type => INDEXPROPERTY(si.id,si.name,'IsClustered')
--   remove all references to schemas including schema name qualifiers, and the XML type
--   add select where indid<255 and si.status&64=0 (to omit the text/image index and autostats)

Si sus nombres incluyen espacios, agregue corchetes alrededor de ellos en los scripts de creación.

Cuando la última columna Clave es nula, sabe que no falta ninguna.

Filtrar claves primarias, etc. como en la solicitud original es trivial.

NOTA: Tenga cuidado con esta solución, ya que no distingue las columnas indexadas e incluidas.

--Corto y dulce:

SELECT OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(T.[object_id],DB_ID()) AS [Schema],  
  T.[name] AS [table_name], I.[name] AS [index_name], AC.[name] AS [column_name],  
  I.[type_desc], I.[is_unique], I.[data_space_id], I.[ignore_dup_key], I.[is_primary_key], 
  I.[is_unique_constraint], I.[fill_factor],    I.[is_padded], I.[is_disabled], I.[is_hypothetical], 
  I.[allow_row_locks], I.[allow_page_locks], IC.[is_descending_key], IC.[is_included_column] 
FROM sys.[tables] AS T  
  INNER JOIN sys.[indexes] I ON T.[object_id] = I.[object_id]  
  INNER JOIN sys.[index_columns] IC ON I.[object_id] = IC.[object_id] 
  INNER JOIN sys.[all_columns] AC ON T.[object_id] = AC.[object_id] AND IC.[column_id] = AC.[column_id] 
WHERE T.[is_ms_shipped] = 0 AND I.[type_desc] <> 'HEAP' 
ORDER BY T.[name], I.[index_id], IC.[key_ordinal]   

Lo siguiente funciona en SQL Server 2014/2016, así como en cualquier base de datos SQL de Microsoft Azure.

Hola chicos, no lo revisé pero obtuve lo que quería en la consulta publicada por el autor original.

Lo usé (sin condiciones / filtros) para mi requerimiento pero dio resultados incorrectos

El principal problema fue que los resultados obtuvieron productos cruzados sin condición de unión en index_id

order by T.name, I.name

Basado en la respuesta aceptada y otras dos preguntas ^{1 , 2} , he reunido la siguiente consulta:

Esta consulta devuelve resultados como el siguiente, que muestra la lista de índices, sus columnas y su uso. Muy útil para determinar qué índice está funcionando mejor que otros:

esto funcionará:

DECLARE @IndexInfo  TABLE (index_name         varchar(250)
                          ,index_description  varchar(250)
                          ,index_keys         varchar(250)
                          )

INSERT INTO @IndexInfo
exec sp_msforeachtable 'sp_helpindex ''?'''
select * from @IndexInfo

esto no vuelve a generar el nombre de la tabla y obtendrá advertencias para todas las tablas sin un índice, si eso es un problema, puede crear un bucle sobre las tablas que tienen índices como este:

DECLARE @IndexInfoTemp  TABLE (index_name         varchar(250)
                              ,index_description  varchar(250)

Esta es una forma de retroceder en los índices. Puede usar SHOWCONTIG para evaluar la fragmentación. Enumerará todos los índices de la base de datos o la tabla, junto con las estadísticas. Advierto que en una base de datos grande, puede ser de larga duración. Para mí, uno de los beneficios de este enfoque es que no es necesario ser administrador para usarlo.

- Mostrar información de fragmentación en todos los índices en una base de datos

SET NOCOUNT ON
USE pubs
DBCC SHOWCONTIG WITH ALL_INDEXES
GO

... apague NOCOUNT nuevamente cuando haya terminado

- Mostrar información de fragmentación en todos los índices en una tabla

SET NOCOUNT ON
USE pubs
DBCC SHOWCONTIG (authors) WITH ALL_INDEXES
GO

- Mostrar información de fragmentación en un índice específico

SET NOCOUNT ON
USE pubs
DBCC SHOWCONTIG (authors,aunmind)
GO

¿Puedo arriesgar otra respuesta a esta pregunta saturada?

    --AND ind.is_unique = 0
    --AND ind.is_unique_constraint = 0 
ORDER BY 
    [Schema],
    TableName, 
    IndexName,
    [ColumnId],
    ColumnName

basado en el código de Tim Ford, esta es la respuesta correcta:

  select tab.[name]  as [table_name],
         idx.[name]  as [index_name],
         allc.[name] as [column_name],
         idx.[type_desc],
         idx.[is_unique],
         idx.[data_space_id],
         idx.[ignore_dup_key],
         idx.[is_primary_key],
         idx.[is_unique_constraint],
         idx.[fill_factor],
         idx.[is_padded],
         idx.[is_disabled],
         idx.[is_hypothetical],
         idx.[allow_row_locks],
         idx.[allow_page_locks],
         idxc.[is_descending_key],
         idxc.[is_included_column],
         idxc.[index_column_id]

     from sys.[tables] as tab

    inner join sys.[indexes]       idx  on tab.[object_id] =  idx.[object_id]
    inner join sys.[index_columns] idxc on idx.[object_id] = idxc.[object_id] and  idx.[index_id]  = idxc.[index_id]
    inner join sys.[all_columns]   allc on tab.[object_id] = allc.[object_id] and idxc.[column_id] = allc.[column_id]

    where tab.[name] Like '%table_name%'
      and idx.[name] Like '%index_name%'
    order by tab.[name], idx.[index_id], idxc.[index_column_id]

Se me ocurrió esta, que me da la descripción exacta que necesito. Lo que ayuda es que obtienes una fila por índice en la que se agregan las columnas de índice.

Solo tenga en cuenta que si va a utilizar cualquiera de las consultas de trabajo anteriores para escribir sus índices, debe incorporar la columna filter_definition de la tabla sys.indexes en sus consultas para obtener la definición de filtro de índices no agrupados en SQL 2008+

Primero, tenga en cuenta que todas las consultas anteriores pueden perder o incorporar erróneamente INCLUIR columnas de los índices. También falta en algunos el orden apropiado y / o la opción ASC / DESC de las columnas.

Modificado la consulta anterior por jona. Por otro lado, en muchas de las bases de datos que uso, instalo mi propia función agregada CLR CONCATENATE, por lo que el siguiente código depende de que algo así esté presente. Las declaraciones SQL anteriores se reducen a un mantenimiento mucho más sostenible:

SELECT
  s.[name] AS [schema_name]
, t.[name] AS [table_name]
, i.[name] AS [index_name]
, dbo.Concatenate(CASE WHEN ic.[key_ordinal] > 0 AND ic.[is_descending_key] = 1 THEN c.[name] + ' DESC' WHEN key_ordinal > 0 THEN c.[name] ELSE NULL END,',',1) AS [columns]
, dbo.Concatenate(CASE WHEN ic.[is_included_column] = 1 THEN c.[name] ELSE NULL END,',',1) AS [includes]
FROM
  sys.tables t
INNER JOIN
  sys.schemas s ON t.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
INNER JOIN
  sys.indexes i ON i.[object_id] = t.[object_id]
INNER JOIN
  sys.index_columns ic ON ic.[object_id] = t.[object_id] AND ic.index_id = i.index_id
INNER JOIN
  sys.columns c ON c.[object_id] = t.[object_id] AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
GROUP BY
  s.[name]
, t.[name]
, i.[name]
ORDER BY
  s.[name]
, t.[name]
, i.[name]

Existen muchos agregados de concatenación si su entorno permite que se le agreguen funciones basadas en CLR.
