Here is a sample result:

ALTER TABLE  [ProductReview]
 DROP CONSTRAINT [CK_ProductReview_Rating]
ALTER TABLE  [ProductReview]
 ADD CONSTRAINT [CK_ProductReview_Rating] CHECK ([Rating]>=(1) AND [Rating]<=(5))

Here’s a basic script to drop/recreate unique indexes in SQL Server 2005.  This includes scripting out INCLUDED columns.

   6: SET NOCOUNT ON
   7:
   8: -- Drop Unique Indexes
   9: SELECT
  10:     DISTINCT
  11:     ' DROP INDEX ' +
  12:     QuoteName(i.name) +

  50: CROSS APPLY
  51: (

Here is a sample result:

DROP INDEX [test_idx] ON [CompanyDepartment]
DROP INDEX [test_idx2] ON [Customer]

CREATE UNIQUE  INDEX [test_idx] ON [CompanyDepartment](Name,GroupName) INCLUDE (ModifiedDate)
CREATE UNIQUE  INDEX [test_idx2] ON [Customer](FirstName,MiddleName,CustomerID)
