Index count

How can I find the number of indexes created on a user database (Only
clustered and Non-clustered indexes in user tables - not system).

Select count(*) from sysindexes
where id in (select id from sysobjects where type = 'U')
and indid <> 255
255 is Text column.|||Not quite, in SQL 2000 statistics also take up an indid value in
sysindexes, so you would need to eliminate them also.
I think you would need to use INDEXPROPERTY to weed them out:
WHERE INDEXPROPERTY ( ID, name, 'IsStatistics') = 0 and INDEXPROPERTY (ID,
name, 'IsHypothetical') = 0

Server and used internally. They cannot be used directly as a data access
path.

You will also need the other conditions in the WHERE clause, not just these
two.
