list of tables without indexes in sql 2008

sql-server, sql-server-2008, t-sql

Solution

This should cover what your looking for. i.e. tables that are heaps (no clustered index) and do not have any non-clustered indexes. It uses the new sys. table objects used in 2005/2008.

in addition, you probably want to look for tables that do have a clustered index, but have no nonclustered indexes (this is the 2nd part of the statement which I've left commented out.

SELECT 
     schemaname = OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(o.object_id)
    ,tablename = o.NAME
FROM sys.objects o
INNER JOIN sys.indexes i ON i.OBJECT_ID = o.OBJECT_ID
-- tables that are heaps without any nonclustered indexes
WHERE (
        o.type = 'U'
        AND o.OBJECT_ID NOT IN (
            SELECT OBJECT_ID
            FROM sys.indexes
            WHERE index_id > 0
            )
        )
        --    OR
        -- table that have a clustered index without any nonclustered indexes
        --(o.type='U' 
        --        AND o.OBJECT_ID NOT IN (
        --    SELECT OBJECT_ID 
        --        FROM sys.indexes 
        --        WHERE index_id>1))

Problem

How do I list tables without indexes in my SQL 2008 database? Edit I want the Schema name and the Table name.
