[Newbie Question] SSMS indexes

Under SSMS where can one find the list of indices?
I can see Stored procedures under Programmability . Is there any place
where I can see the list of indexes.
Apologies, if this is a stupid question.

In Object Explorer you can see the indexes only per table; there is no node
that lists indexes alone.

However, you could run this query to see all indexes in the database:

SELECT object_name(obj ect_id), name
FROM sys.indexes
WHERE index_id 0

Indexes are dependent on a specific table so you need to first expand the
desired table node, where you will see an Indexes node. Note that SSMS will
include indexes that support constraints under the Indexes node too.

Hope this helps.

hello, I've been assigned to do performance tuning on an SQL2000 database (around 10GB in size, several instances). So far, I see a single RAID5 array, 4CPU (xeon 700MHZ), 4GB RAM.

Running DB2 8.2 on AIX 5.2 I have a question on reorgs and reorgchk results.

The presence of an asterisk in the output for the table triggers a reorg of the table using the clustered index if it has...
