Question

I’m using Sql-Server, and I have the below query which returns all columns that have a collation other than ‘SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS’

select COLUMN_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
where COLLATION_NAME <> 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS'
and COLLATION_NAME is not null;

I need to get also the Indexes on these columns so I can drop these indexes, modify columns, then recreate them.

My problem that I don’t know how to get the indexes names for the columns returned from the query above.

see if this helps you:

select object_schema_name(object_id), object_name(object_id), name
from    sys.indexes
where   type > 0
and object_name(object_id) in (
    select C.column_name
    from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C 
    where COLLATION_NAME is not null and COLLATION_NAME <> 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS'
)
