usp_SQLServerCarpenter_Tools_Estimate_Nonclustered_Indexes_Clashing_With_Clustered_Index

This procedure will list down all the nonclustered indexes, which includes key columns as that of the clustered index. It will also list the key columns of both – nonclustered index, and the corresponding clustered index, along with the key ordinal of the clustered index key columns in the respective nonclustered index. It is now up to you to decide which one makes sense, and which doesn’t. Take the decision accordingly and delete the ones that do not make sense. This procedure may be helpful in performance tuning assignments.
