asked on

checking inventory of indexes

on a big database, and if 3-4 DBAs have worked on it on and off, how do you best track of all indexes deployed so far. are DBAs to document which index was created for what purpose, when etc so others can infer later why an index exists? (instead of going to DMV to check if an index is used or not.. some indexes may be seasonal.. only run on month ends or quarterly etc).

any other thoughts to make this efficient?
