List of all index & index columns in SQL Server DB

There are two "sys" catalog views you can consult: sys.indexes and sys.index_columns.

Those will give you just about any info you could possibly want about indices and their columns.

EDIT: This query's getting pretty close to what you're looking for:

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.is_included_column, ic.key_ordinal;

--Short and sweet:

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]   

this will work:

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

this does not reurn the table name and you will get warnings for all tables without an index, if that is a problem, you can create a loop over the tables that have indexes like this:

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

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

DECLARE @Tables Table (RowID       int not null identity(1,1)
                      ,TableName   sysname 
                      )
DECLARE @MaxRow       int
DECLARE @CurrentRow   int
DECLARE @CurrentTable sysname

INSERT INTO @Tables
    SELECT
        DISTINCT t.name 
        FROM sys.indexes i
            INNER JOIN sys.tables t ON i.object_id = t.object_id
        WHERE i.Name IS NOT NULL
SELECT @MaxRow=@@ROWCOUNT,@CurrentRow=1

WHILE @CurrentRow<=@MaxRow
BEGIN

    SELECT @CurrentTable=TableName FROM @Tables WHERE RowID=@CurrentRow

    INSERT INTO @IndexInfoTemp
    exec sp_helpindex @CurrentTable

    INSERT INTO @IndexInfo
            (table_name   , index_name , index_description , index_keys)
        SELECT
            @CurrentTable , index_name , index_description , index_keys
        FROM @IndexInfoTemp

    DELETE FROM @IndexInfoTemp

    SET @CurrentRow=@CurrentRow+1

END --WHILE
SELECT * from @IndexInfo

EDIT
if you want, you can filter the data, here are some examples (these work for either method):

SELECT * FROM @IndexInfo WHERE index_description NOT LIKE '%primary key%'
SELECT * FROM @IndexInfo WHERE index_description NOT LIKE '%nonclustered%' AND index_description  LIKE '%clustered%'
SELECT * FROM @IndexInfo WHERE index_description LIKE '%unique%'

This is a way of backing into the indexes. You can use SHOWCONTIG to assess fragmentation. It will list all of the indexes for the database or table, along with statistics. I would caution that on a large database, it can be long-running. For me, one of the benefits of this approach is that you don't have to be an admin to use it.

--Show fragmentation info on all indexes in a database

SET NOCOUNT ON
USE pubs
DBCC SHOWCONTIG WITH ALL_INDEXES
GO

...turn NOCOUNT back OFF when done

--Show fragmentation info on all indexes on a table

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

--Show fragmentation information on a specific index

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

I came up with this one, which is giving me the exact overview I need. What is helps is that you get one row per index into which the index columns are aggregated.

select 
    o.name as ObjectName, 
    i.name as IndexName, 
    i.is_primary_key as [PrimaryKey],
    SUBSTRING(i.[type_desc],0,6) as IndexType,
    i.is_unique as [Unique],
    Columns.[Normal] as IndexColumns,
    Columns.[Included] as IncludedColumns
from sys.indexes i 
join sys.objects o on i.object_id = o.object_id
cross apply
(
    select
        substring
        (
            (
                select ', ' + co.[name]

                order by ic.key_ordinal
                for xml path('')
            )
            , 3
            , 10000
        )    as [Normal]    
        , substring
        (

                select ', ' + co.[name]
                from sys.index_columns ic
                join sys.columns co on co.object_id = i.object_id and co.column_id = ic.column_id
                where ic.object_id = i.object_id and ic.index_id = i.index_id and ic.is_included_column = 1
                order by ic.key_ordinal
                for xml path('')
            )
            , 3
            , 10000
        )    as [Included]    

) Columns
where o.[type] = 'U' --USER_TABLE
order by o.[name], i.[name], i.is_primary_key desc

This is mine, works on one default schema but it can be easily improved It gives 3 columnns with SQLQueries - Create / Drop / Rebuild (no reorganizing)

Query:

Try this one:

EXEC sys.sp_helpindex @objname = 'mytable';

Since your profile states that you are using .NET you could use Server Managed Objects (SMO) programmatically... otherwise any of the above answers are fantastic.

I have used the following query when I had this requirement...

SELECT 
    TableName = t.name,
    ColumnId = col.column_id, 
    ColumnName = col.name,
    DataType = ty.name,
    MaxSize = ty.max_length,
    IsNullable = CASE WHEN (col.is_nullable = 1) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsIdentity = CASE WHEN (col.is_identity = 1) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsPrimaryKey = CASE WHEN (ic.column_id = col.column_id) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsForeignKey = CASE WHEN (fkc.parent_column_id = col.column_id) THEN 'Y' END,
    IsDefault = CASE WHEN (dc.parent_column_id = col.column_id) THEN 'Y' END
FROM 
    sys.tables t
INNER JOIN 
     sys.columns col ON t.object_id = col.object_id 
LEFT JOIN
    sys.indexes ind ON t.object_id = ind.object_id 
LEFT JOIN 
     sys.index_columns ic ON ic.index_id=ind.index_id AND ic.object_id = col.object_id and ic.column_id = col.column_id
LEFT JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
                ON fkc.parent_object_id = col.object_id AND fkc.parent_column_id=col.column_id
LEFT JOIN sys.default_constraints dc
                ON dc.parent_object_id = col.object_id AND dc.parent_column_id=col.column_id
LEFT JOIN
     sys.types ty on ty.user_type_id = col.user_type_id

WHERE
    --t.name='<TABLENAME>'
    t.schema_id = 10    --SCHEMA ID
    AND ind.is_primary_key=1    
ORDER BY
    t.name, ColumnId

Working solution for SQL Server 2014. I have included only a handful of output fields here but feel free to add in as many as you like.

SELECT
    o.object_id AS objectId
    ,o.name AS objectName
    ,i.index_id AS indexId
    ,i.name AS indexName
    ,i.type_desc AS typeDesc
    ,ic.index_column_id AS indexColumnId
    ,ic.key_ordinal AS keyOrdinal
    ,ic.is_included_column AS isIncludedColumn
    ,ic.column_id AS columnId
    ,c.name AS columnName
FROM {database}.sys.objects AS o
    INNER JOIN {database}.sys.columns AS c ON
        c.object_id = o.object_id
        AND o.type = 'U'
    INNER JOIN {database}.sys.indexes AS i ON
        i.object_id = o.object_id
    INNER JOIN {database}.sys.index_columns AS ic ON
        ic.object_id = i.object_id
        AND ic.index_id = i.index_id
        AND ic.column_id = c.column_id
ORDER BY
    o.object_id
    ,i.index_id
    ,ic.index_column_id

I gave KFD9's answer an update.

I adapted their version to support the include-specification and not make use of indexkey_property which is deprecated

This gives you a create and a drop statement for indexes and constraints.

with indexes as (
    SELECT
      schema_name(schema_id) as SchemaName, OBJECT_NAME(si.object_id) as TableName, si.name as IndexName,
      (CASE is_primary_key WHEN 1 THEN 'PK' ELSE '' END) as PK,
      (CASE is_unique WHEN 1 THEN '1' ELSE '0' END)+' '+
      (CASE si.type WHEN 1 THEN 'C' WHEN 3 THEN 'X' ELSE 'B' END)+' ' as 'Type',  -- B=basic, C=Clustered, X=XML

         from sys.index_columns ic JOIN sys.columns c on ic.column_id = c.column_id and ic.object_id = c.object_id where ic.index_id = si.index_id and ic.object_id = si.object_id and ic.is_included_column = 0) Cols,
      (select string_agg(CAST('[' + c.name + ']' + case when is_descending_key = 1 then ' DESC' else '' end AS NVARCHAR(MAX)), ',') within group (order by index_column_id)

    END AS DropIndex,
    IndexColsCount
FROM indexes
ORDER BY SchemaName,TableName,IndexName

The correct One is here (All the above posts will give Cartesian product result when we have more then one index on a table)

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 
                                  AND i.index_id = ic.index_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
 AND  t.name = 'DimCustomer'
order by ic.key_ordinal

select i.object_id, i.name as [index] , STRING_AGG(c.name,', ') as [column], o.name as [table] from sys.indexes i
INNER join sys.index_columns ic on ic.object_id = i.object_id and ic.index_id = i.index_id
INNER join sys.columns c on c.object_id = ic.object_id and ic.column_id = c.column_id
INNER JOIN sys.objects o on o.object_id = i.object_id
where i.object_id > 100 and i.is_primary_key = 0 and i.is_unique = 0 and o.is_ms_shipped <> 1
group by i.object_id, i.name, o.name
order by i.name

Take this for sql 2016 and higher it shows you object_id, indexname, columns and tablename for non unique and no primary keys
