index_ID
Is the index identification number. index_ID is int.

key_ID
Is the index key column position. key_ID is int.

ColumnId	Column ID at the key_ID position of the index.

Exceptions

Returns NULL on error or if a caller does not have permission to view the object.

A user can only view the metadata of securables that the user owns or on which the user has been granted permission. This means that metadata-emitting, built-in functions such as INDEXKEY_PROPERTY may return NULL if the user does not have any permission on the object. For more information, see Metadata Visibility Configuration.

Examples

In the following example, both properties are returned for index ID 1, key column 1 in the Production.Location table.

SQL

USE AdventureWorks2022;  
GO  
SELECT   
    INDEXKEY_PROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Production.Location', 'U'),  
        1,1,'ColumnId') AS [Column ID],  
    INDEXKEY_PROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Production.Location', 'U'),  
        1,1,'IsDescending') AS [Asc or Desc order];

Here is the result set:

Column ID   Asc or Desc order   
----------- -----------------   
1           0  
  
(1 row(s) affected)
