SQL Server: When were table indexes last updated
By: Mark Jacobsen

Performance problems in databases can often be traced back to poor indexes or indicies that haven't been updated to properly reflect the changes in data over time. To check the last time an index was updated in SQL Server, you can query some system tables to get the information needed. Play around with variations of the following...

SELECT o.name AS Table_Name
,i.name AS Index_Name
,STATS_DATE(o.id,i.indid) AS Date_Updated
FROM sysobjects o JOIN
sysindexes i ON i.id = o.id
WHERE xtype = 'U' AND
i.name IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY STATS_DATE(o.id,i.indid)
