TSQL : HEAPS and Forwarded Records

A little bemused that I'm still finding this in application code in the 21st Century, but there you go. A live app experiencing performance problems due to a significant number of heaps, each frequently used.

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(stats.object_id) as [Table],
idx.name as [Index],
stats.index_type_desc,
stats.page_count,
stats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent,
stats.forwarded_record_count
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL, 'DETAILED') AS stats
INNER JOIN sys.indexes AS idx (NOLOCK)
ON stats.OBJECT_ID = idx.OBJECT_ID
AND stats.index_id = idx.index_id
WHERE forwarded_record_count > 0
ORDER BY forwarded_record_count desc
