上面有一些不错的答案。但我更喜欢一个问题就能得到答案。 这段代码来自sys. .Sp_helpconstraint (sys proc)

这是微软查找是否有与tbl关联的外键的方法。

--setup variables. Just change 'Customer' to tbl you want
declare @objid int,
    @objname nvarchar(776)
select @objname = 'Customer'    
select @objid = object_id(@objname)

if exists (select * from sys.foreign_keys where referenced_object_id = @objid)
    select 'Table is referenced by foreign key' =
        db_name() + '.'
        + rtrim(schema_name(ObjectProperty(parent_object_id,'schemaid')))
        + '.' + object_name(parent_object_id)
        + ': ' + object_name(object_id)
    from sys.foreign_keys 
    where referenced_object_id = @objid 
    order by 1

答案看起来像这样:test_db_name.dbo。账户:FK_Account_Customer

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。

这个答案建立在sp_fkeys的基础上，但格式化类似于sp_fkeys，适用于多个列并列出它们的顺序。

SELECT fk_obj.name    AS FK_NAME,
       pk_schema.name AS PKTABLE_OWNER,
       pk_table.name  AS PKTABLE_NAME,
       pk_column.name AS PKCOLUMN_NAME,
       fk_schema.name AS FKTABLE_OWNER,
       fk_table.name  AS FKTABLE_NAME,
       fk_column.name AS FKCOLUMN_NAME,
       ROW_NUMBER() over (
           PARTITION BY fk_obj.name, fk_schema.name
           ORDER BY fkc.constraint_column_id
           )          AS KEY_SEQ
FROM sys.foreign_key_columns fkc
         INNER JOIN sys.objects fk_obj
                    ON fk_obj.object_id = fkc.constraint_object_id
         INNER JOIN sys.tables fk_table
                    ON fk_table.object_id = fkc.parent_object_id
         INNER JOIN sys.schemas fk_schema
                    ON fk_table.schema_id = fk_schema.schema_id
         INNER JOIN sys.columns fk_column
                    ON fk_column.column_id = parent_column_id
                        AND fk_column.object_id = fk_table.object_id
         INNER JOIN sys.tables pk_table
                    ON pk_table.object_id = fkc.referenced_object_id
         INNER JOIN sys.schemas pk_schema
                    ON pk_table.schema_id = pk_schema.schema_id
         INNER JOIN sys.columns pk_column
                    ON pk_column.column_id = fkc.referenced_column_id
                        AND pk_column.object_id = pk_table.object_id;

Mysql服务器有information_schema。REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS表供参考，您可以通过表名或引用表名过滤它。

你可以通过以下查询找到:

 SELECT OBJECT_NAME (FK.referenced_object_id) 'Referenced Table', 
      OBJECT_NAME(FK.parent_object_id) 'Referring Table', FK.name 'Foreign Key', 
      COL_NAME(FK.referenced_object_id, FKC.referenced_column_id) 'Referenced Column',
      COL_NAME(FK.parent_object_id,FKC.parent_column_id) 'Referring Column'
     FROM sys.foreign_keys AS FK
             INNER JOIN sys.foreign_key_columns AS FKC 
                 ON FKC.constraint_object_id = FK.OBJECT_ID
     WHERE OBJECT_NAME (FK.referenced_object_id) = 'YourTableName'
     AND COL_NAME(FK.referenced_object_id, FKC.referenced_column_id) = 'YourColumnName'
     order by  OBJECT_NAME(FK.parent_object_id)

确定数据库中所有表的主键和唯一键…

这应该列出所有的约束条件，在最后你可以放入过滤器
