| Hey there guys.I have a problem with creating a clustered index when there is already one defined for the table.CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX ix_post_ds_terminals_bbl_1 ON post_ds_terminals_bbl( calendar_date, terminal_id)GOI get the following error:Server: Msg 1902, Level 16, State 3, Line 5Cannot create more than one clustered index on table 'post_ds_terminals_bbl'. Drop the existing clustered index 'ix_post_ds_terminals_bbl_1' before creating another.My question is how can I find out if any clustered indexes exist for a specific table so as to delete them? The sysindexes table has the names of the indexes but not thier associated table names. Or am I missing something?any help would be great.Thanks |

Thanks, but that doesnt really help. I need a way of putting it into an SQL script. That script must check whether there exists a clustered index belonging to a certain table. If so, it must delete that clustered index before inserting the new one (or the new insert will fail)Any more ideas?-----peace |

if exists(select query here...) drop the index herecreate the index here--select query is join for sysobjects and sysindexes, explore, but I believe scripts have been created for this... try to search for the topic [sorry not much help there]--oh fast one, generate the script for the indexes on the table, you'll get the tsql from there  --------------------keeping it simple... |
