    Hi,

    I cannot find a date when an index was created on SQL server 2000 sysindexes. Does anyone know where I can find this information?

    Thanks in advance!

    i don't know if you'll find it;for the indexes on all the PK's and UQ indexes, you can find it because the creation date of the PK and it's index would happen at the same time;

    select * from sysobjects where xtype in('PK','UQ')

    i don't believe that you'll find any other creation dates for indexes other than that, even in 2005;

    Additionally, in 2005 you might find the indexes created in the default trace, but I'd have to test that.
