you can use sp_helpindex to get indexes on table

EXEC sp_helpindex 'table_name';

using @marc_s's query [1] you can create view

create view show_indexes as
SELECT 
     TableName = t.name,
     IndexName = ind.name,
     IndexId = ind.index_id,
     ColumnId = ic.index_column_id,
     ColumnName = col.name,
     ind.*,
     ic.*,
     col.* 
FROM 
     sys.indexes ind 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.index_columns ic ON  ind.object_id = ic.object_id and ind.index_id = ic.index_id 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.columns col ON ic.object_id = col.object_id and ic.column_id = col.column_id 
INNER JOIN 
     sys.tables t ON ind.object_id = t.object_id 
WHERE 
     ind.is_primary_key = 0 
     AND ind.is_unique = 0 
     AND ind.is_unique_constraint = 0 
     AND t.is_ms_shipped = 0 
ORDER BY 
     t.name, ind.name, ind.index_id, ic.index_column_id;

then you can use it with select

select * from show_indexes where table_name = ...

Or use the system proc: `EXEC sp_helpindex 'table_name';`. – Dan Guzman Jan 22 '19 at 12:43 — Dan Guzman, Jan 22 '19 at 12:43
