Retrieve Index Usage Statistics
Description
Sample script that lists statistics for existing Indexes, ordered by user_updates. When an index I used it is inserted into sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats. If an index is not used it will not appear in sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats. This script, contributed by Microsoft's Tom Davidson, requires SQL Server 2005.
Script Code
select * from sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats order by user_updates desc
