How to find unique indexes in SQLserver 2005

How do I find unique indexes in SQLserver 2005.
Is there a website/page which does describe the information_schema and gives
tips etc.
Now I want to find all unique constraints and unique indexes in a given
database.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Ben,
this should do for you:
select * from sys.indexes
where is_unique = 1 or is_unique_constraint = 1

|||Sorry, bad answer. Try this.
--unique indexes
select sysobjects.name,sysindexes.name,sysindexes.status from sysobjects
join
sysindexes on sysobjects.id=sysindexes.id
where (sysindexes.status =2 )
and type='u'
--unique constrains
select name, object_name(parent_object_id) from sys.key_constraints
where type='uq'
