To get the code right, I create the index in Management Studio, then generate a script and copy the data to the DDT script, here is a sample of my script: /**** Object: Index [DuplicateImportCheck_idx] Script Date: 04/07/2010 09:50:41 ***/ IF EXISTS (SELECT FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[TransactionItemsImport]') AND name = N'DuplicateImportCheck_idx') DROP INDEX [DuplicateImportCheck_idx] ON [dbo].[TransactionItemsImport] WITH ( ONLINE = OFF ) CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [DuplicateImportCheck_idx] ON [dbo].[TransactionItemsImport] ( [FK_Vendor_Carrier] ASC, [FK_Transaction] ASC, [ImportStatus] ASC ) INCLUDE ( [FK_TransactionItems], [FK_Items], [CardLotNo], [CardSerialNumber]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] If I remember correctly there is an enhancement request for this feature, but don't know if the SF team will add it.

E Group: StrataFrame Users Posts: 2.4K, Visits: 23K	Hi Trent, Will SF Team consider to add the feature of create index with INCLUDE columns to the DDT? I have been using the Post-Deploy script for this, but I have customers with 37GB database size and re-creating the indexes all the time in the post-script cause a long delay over 2 hours for some customers and I am under the impression that there is a logic in DDT that will only re-create an index, if it is needed to do so, is this assumption right?
