This topic describes how to modify an index in SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio or Transact-SQL.

Using SQL Server Management Studio

To modify an index

  1. In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine and then expand that instance.

  2. Expand Databases, expand the database in which the table belongs, and then expand Tables.

  3. Expand the table in which the index belongs and then expand Indexes.

  4. Right-click the index that you want to modify and then click Properties.

  5. In the Index Properties dialog box, make the desired changes. For example, you can add or remove a column from the index key, or change the setting of an index option.

  1. To add, remove, or change the position of an index column, select the General page from the Index Properties dialog box.

Using Transact-SQL

To modify an index

The following example drops and re-creates an existing index on the ProductID column of the Production.WorkOrder table in the AdventureWorks database by using the DROP_EXISTING option. The options FILLFACTOR and PAD_INDEX are also set.

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_WorkOrder_ProductID
    ON Production.WorkOrder(ProductID)
    WITH (FILLFACTOR = 80,
        PAD_INDEX = ON,
        DROP_EXISTING = ON)
;

The following example uses ALTER INDEX to set several options on the index AK_SalesOrderHeader_SalesOrderNumber.

ALTER INDEX AK_SalesOrderHeader_SalesOrderNumber ON
    Sales.SalesOrderHeader
SET (
    STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = ON,
    IGNORE_DUP_KEY = ON,
    ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON
    )
;
