How can you get a list of the views in a SQL server database that have indexes (i.e. indexed views)?
I've found it's pretty easy to run an "ALTER VIEW" as I'm developing and overlook that I'm not only editing the view but also dropping an existing index. So I thought it would be nice to have a little utility query around that would list me off all the views with indexes.
SELECT o.name as view_name, i.name as index_name
FROM sysobjects o
INNER JOIN sysindexes i
ON o.id = i.id
WHERE o.xtype = 'V' -- View
Microsoft recommends using the newer SQL Server system views. Here is the equivalent:
SELECT
o.name as view_name,
i.name as index_name
FROM
sys.objects o
JOIN sys.indexes i ON o.object_id = i.object_id
WHERE
o.type = 'V' -- View
