Is there a table in SQL SERVER 2005 that maintains the drop index history?

Thanks,
isa

Not that I am aware of. You could create a DDL trigger that looked for this type of activity and log the history to a table for later review.

If you're trying to find out when an index was dropped, you could look in the default trace, providing the drop didn't happen too long ago. The default trace is a light-weight server-side trace that keeps only 4 files of 20MB of trace data.

If you want this for future, then consider a DDL trigger and a table to store history.
