Remarks

With the Indexes collection, you can:

  • Create a 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.
