Which version of SQL server you are using. Indexing depends on version of SQL. In 2005- Total Index is- 250(1 cluster and 249 non-cluster index) On primary key 1 clustered index unique - 2 non clusterd index on foreign key no index by default remain-247 non clustered index In 2008- Total Index is- 1000(1 cluster and 999 non-cluster index) On primary key 1 clustered index unique - 2 non clusterd index on foreign key no index by default remain-997 non clustered index If this helped you kindly accept the answer .
