您还应该注意对其他对象的引用。

如果表被其他表高度引用，那么它也可能被其他对象(如视图、存储过程、函数等)高度引用。

我真的推荐GUI工具，如SSMS中的“查看依赖关系”对话框或免费工具，如ApexSQL Search，因为如果你只想用SQL来搜索其他对象的依赖关系，可能会出错。

如果SQL是唯一的选择，您可以尝试这样做。

select O.name as [Object_Name], C.text as [Object_Definition]
from sys.syscomments C
inner join sys.all_objects O ON C.id = O.object_id
where C.text like '%table_name%'

通过@Gishu所做的工作，我能够在SQL Server 2005中生成并使用以下SQL

SELECT t.name AS TableWithForeignKey, fk.constraint_column_id AS FK_PartNo, 
       c.name AS ForeignKeyColumn, o.name AS FK_Name 
  FROM sys.foreign_key_columns AS fk
       INNER JOIN sys.tables AS t ON fk.parent_object_id = t.object_id
       INNER JOIN sys.columns AS c ON fk.parent_object_id = c.object_id 
                                  AND fk.parent_column_id = c.column_id
       INNER JOIN sys.objects AS o ON fk.constraint_object_id = o.object_id
  WHERE fk.referenced_object_id = (SELECT object_id FROM sys.tables 
                                        WHERE name = 'TableOthersForeignKeyInto')
  ORDER BY TableWithForeignKey, FK_PartNo;

在一个查询中显示表，列和外键名称。

最初的问题要求将所有外键的列表放入一个高度引用的表中，以便可以删除表。

这个小查询返回将所有外键放入特定表所需的“drop foreign key”命令:

SELECT 
   'ALTER TABLE ['+sch.name+'].['+referencingTable.Name+'] DROP CONSTRAINT ['+foreignKey.name+']' '[DropCommand]'
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fk
    JOIN sys.tables referencingTable ON fk.parent_object_id = referencingTable.object_id
    JOIN sys.schemas sch ON referencingTable.schema_id = sch.schema_id
    JOIN sys.objects foreignKey ON foreignKey.object_id = fk.constraint_object_id
    JOIN sys.tables referencedTable ON fk.referenced_object_id = referencedTable.object_id
WHERE referencedTable.name = 'MyTableName'

示例输出:

[DropCommand]
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[OtherTable1] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_OtherTable1_MyTable]
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[OtherTable2] DROP CONSTRAINT [FK_OtherTable2_MyTable]

省略where -子句以获取当前数据库中所有外键的删除命令。

with tab_list as (
    select t.name AS Table_Name, t.object_id, s.name AS Table_Schema  from sys.tables t, sys.schemas s 
     where t.schema_id = s.schema_id
       and s.name = 'your schema') 
select IIF(col.column_id = 1, tab.TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + tab.TABLE_NAME, NULL) Table_Name,
       col.Name AS Column_Name, IIF(col.IS_NULLABLE= 0, 'NOT NULL', '') Nullable, st.name Type,
       CASE WHEN st.name = 'decimal' THEN CONVERT(NVARCHAR(4000), col.Precision) + ',' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(4000), col.Scale) 
            WHEN col.max_length = -1 THEN 'max'
            WHEN st.name in ('int', 'bit', 'bigint', 'datetime2') THEN NULL
       ELSE CONVERT(NVARCHAR(4000), col.max_length / 2)
       END
       AS Length,
       ss.name + '.' + stab.name Referenced_Table, scol.name Referenced_Column 
from sys.COLUMNS col  
    INNER JOIN tab_list tab ON col.object_id = tab.object_id
    INNER JOIN sys.types st ON col.system_type_id = st.system_type_id AND col.user_type_id = st.user_type_id 
    LEFT JOIN [sys].[foreign_key_columns] sfkc ON col.object_id = sfkc.parent_object_id AND col.column_id = sfkc.parent_column_id
    LEFT JOIN sys.tables stab ON sfkc.referenced_object_id = stab.object_id
    LEFT JOIN sys.columns scol ON sfkc.referenced_object_id = scol.object_id AND sfkc.referenced_column_id = scol.column_id 
    LEFT JOIN sys.schemas ss ON ss.schema_id = stab.schema_id

这会给你:

FK本身 FK所属的Schema “引用表”或者有FK的表 “引用列”或引用表中指向FK的列 “引用表”或具有FK指向的键列的表 “引用列”或者是FK指向的键的列

下面的代码:

SELECT  obj.name AS FK_NAME,
    sch.name AS [schema_name],
    tab1.name AS [table],
    col1.name AS [column],
    tab2.name AS [referenced_table],
    col2.name AS [referenced_column]
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
INNER JOIN sys.objects obj
    ON obj.object_id = fkc.constraint_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab1
    ON tab1.object_id = fkc.parent_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas sch
    ON tab1.schema_id = sch.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col1
    ON col1.column_id = parent_column_id AND col1.object_id = tab1.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.tables tab2
    ON tab2.object_id = fkc.referenced_object_id
INNER JOIN sys.columns col2
    ON col2.column_id = referenced_column_id AND col2.object_id = tab2.object_id
