Isn't it possible to retrieve whether a field is an index? Because the index information was being found from a secondary query lookup that used only the column name. If that column name also existed in any other table, the information that came back could not be guaranteed to be the information for the column/table combination the person is asking the question about. This could be reworked a _little_ bit by allowing improved flag information if the person is looking up information about a table name, rather than a query result. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
