QUESTION POSED ON: 06 December 2007
I want to know whether an index is disabled in SQL Server 2000. In SQL Server 2005 we can do this by querying sys.indexes. Is there a way to find disabled indexes in SQL Server 2000?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
Indexes couldn't be disabled in SQL Server 2000. The feature to disable indexes was introduced in SQL Server 2005.
