Thursday, September 15, 2011TSQL: Generate Missing Foreign Key IndexesIt’s good practice to ensure all foreign key columns are indexed (I’ve often wondered why SQL Server Management Studio doesn’t have a built-in option to perform this). I can’t remember where I saw this code originally (despite trying to search for a reference to it), but it is a useful addition to a TSQL code snippet toolbox: -- As is, this script prints out the missing index definitions but does not run them into the database. Simply copy and paste into another SSMS query window and run. (You could also uncomment the execute line, but I prefer to check them before running in). |
