Indexes Collection (SQL-DMO)

The Indexes collection contains Index objects referencing indexes that implement Microsoft® SQL Server™ constraints and user-defined access paths.

Remarks

With the Indexes collection, you can:

• Create an user-defined access path or unique constraint on data maintained by a SQL Server index.
• Remove a SQL Server index.

For more information about creating a SQL Server index using SQL-DMO, see Index Object.

To remove a SQL Server index:

• Use the Remove method of the Indexes collection, as in:

    oTables("Employees").Indexes.Remove("LastName")

When using the Item or Remove method, the Indexes collection supports member identification using either name or ordinal reference syntax. For example:

Set oIndex = oTable.Indexes("LastName")

Or:

Set oIndex = oTable.Indexes(2)

Note Creating or removing indexes by using the Indexes collection requires appropriate privilege. The SQL Server login used for SQLServer object connection must be a member of the fixed role db_ddladmin or a role with greater privilege.
