    Hi,

    How can I get a table_name per known index_name?

    Thanks!

    You can check in sys.indexes, though note that index names don't have to be unique across the database, just unique on a table, so there may be two or more indexes with the same name on different tables

    select name, object_name(object_id) AS TableName from sys.indexes

    select o.name,

    i.name

    from sysobjects o,

    sysindexes i

    where i.id=o.id

    and type in ('U','V')

    and i.name = 'INDEX_NAME'
